EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Victorian Christmas card image, featuring six jovial owl bellringers, circa 1890s. Dressed in their holiday best, these anthropomorphic owls don cheerful expressions as they pull on the ropes attached to the bells suspended from the belfry. The scene is filled with a delightful sense of humor and anthropomorphism, as these birds have been humanized with clothing and the ability to ring bells. The intricate details of their clothing, from their striped shirts and waistcoats to their tall, felt hats adorned with holly and ivy, add to the festive atmosphere. The belfry, complete with a bat perched on the roof, adds a touch of the unexpected and the historical. The owls' ropes, attached to the bells, are taut with the anticipation of the next ring. This card, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a must-have for those who appreciate the quirky and the nostalgic. The image transports us to a simpler time, where the joy of the holiday season was found in the small moments and the company of loved ones. Hang this card on your wall or send it to friends and family as a unique and heartwarming holiday greeting.
