EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a charming scene from the late Victorian era with this beautiful New Year card featuring a delightful tea party hosted by a cheerful group of robins. Dressed in their finest winter attire, these redbreasts have gathered around a snow-covered branch, preparing for an enjoyable gathering. The kettle on the fire is beginning to boil, sending out plumes of steam that dance in the crisp winter air. The robins, with their rosy breasts and bright eyes, exude a sense of warmth and friendliness, even amidst the cold and snow. Their humanized behavior, a popular form of anthropomorphism during this time, adds a whimsical touch to this historical image. The teapot sits atop the branch, ready to pour out steaming hot tea for their guests. The leaves, still clinging to the trees, add a touch of autumn to the winter scene. This card, circa 1890s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the robin as a symbol of new beginnings and hope. As the new year approaches, these birds invite us to gather around and celebrate the warmth of companionship and the promise of a fresh start. The intricate details of the card, from the flames of the fire to the individual feathers on the robins, showcase the artistry of the time. This image, with its rich history and adorable subjects, is sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of nostalgia to your heart.
