EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Christmas card image from the 1890s, featuring a cheerful little boy proudly carrying a steaming hot pudding adorned with holly, mistletoe, and fruit. Dressed in a red cap and bowtie, the curious child gazes up at the heavens as if seeking blessings for the upcoming festivities. In the background, a trumpeting angel and a pair of playful robins add whimsical touches to this charming scene. The tradition of exchanging Christmas cards dates back to the 1840s, but the practice of including edible treats like puddings became popular in the late 1800s. This card is a delightful reminder of the joy and nostalgia that comes with the holiday season. The little boy's expression of wonder and excitement captures the essence of childhood innocence and the anticipation of the Christmas and New Year celebrations. This beautiful card also showcases the rich symbolism of the season, with the holly and mistletoe representing prosperity and good fortune, and the apples and grapes signifying abundance and renewal. The red and blue colors of the card further enhance the festive atmosphere, making it a cherished keepsake for generations to come.
