EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and whimsical image from the late Victorian era, this Christmas and New Year card features a plump man in a festive hat adorned with a feather, sharing a lighthearted moment with a pig donning a tunic, belt, and hose. The playful scene is accompanied by a quotation from Shakespeare's Hamlet, adding an air of historical and literary elegance. The man and the pig, both plump and round, are depicted as more than mere kin but less than kind, adding a touch of comic humor to the holiday greeting. The intricate details of the man's hat and the pig's Elizabethan attire transport us back in time, making this card a delightful find for those who appreciate the history and tradition of the holiday season.
