EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming turn-of-the-century Christmas card features two young boys engaged in their studies, sitting on a festive cutout scene. Dressed in the fashion of the late Victorian era, the boys wear navy blue breeches and jackets, topped with green hats adorned with pom-poms. One boy wears a pink shirt and holds a slate and chalk in his hands, while the other dons a white shirt and a hat adorned with a punchinello character. The boys' intense focus on their studies contrasts with the playful holiday backdrop, which includes holly leaves, mistletoe, and a stocking hung by the chimney. The intricately cut card design adds a whimsical touch to the scene, making it a delightful representation of the season's blend of education and celebration. This beautiful card from the 1890s captures the spirit of the holiday season during a time when children were encouraged to continue their learning even amidst the festivities.
