EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this charming Victorian-era Christmas postcard image from the 1890s. The scene captures the delight and innocence of childhood as two little girls play in the snow-covered landscape. Dressed in their warmest winter clothing, including white hats, clogs, and long coats, they carry wooden pails on yokes, likely for making snow angels or collecting snow for a winter game. In the background, a tall evergreen tree adorned with holly and red berries stands proudly against the winter sky, its branches heavy with the weight of the fresh snow. An axe leans against the tree, perhaps a reminder of the importance of chopping firewood for the winter hearth. The girls' cottage, with its thatched roof and smoke rising from the chimney, adds to the idyllic winter scene. This postcard is a heartwarming reminder of the simple joys of childhood during the holiday season in the late 1800s.
