EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late Victorian image captures the innocence and joy of childhood romance during the holiday season. Circa 1890s, this photograph features a Dutch girl and boy lovingly exchanging a kiss on a cutout Christmas card. The girl, dressed in a white blouse and an apron, wears a pinafore over a brown skirt, while the boy dons a brown dress and a cap. The national costumes of the Netherlands add an authentic touch to the scene. The card's background is adorned with holly foliage, adding to the festive atmosphere of the season. The cutout design of the card allows the viewer to see the children in their purest form, free from the constraints of the physical card. The image exudes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time. The late Victorian era was known for its emphasis on sentimentality and romance, and this card perfectly encapsulates that spirit. The children's innocent expressions and the tender moment they share convey the universal language of love and affection. This image is a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder of the holiday season and the enduring power of love and romance, even in childhood.
