EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and humorous Christmas card image featuring three monkeys and a cat, engrossed in their holiday reading. Dressed in festive holiday attire, the monkeys sit around a cozy fireplace, each one focused intently on a stack of books piled high before them. The mischievous monkey on the left playfully points to an apple dangling from a tree, while the wise monkey in the middle dons a pair of glasses or spectacles, signifying his scholarly pursuits. The cat, with a curious expression, sits amongst the monkeys, also holding a book in its paws. The scene exudes a sense of humanized humor and warmth, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and the joy of sharing a good book with loved ones during the holiday season. This delightful card, dating back to the 1890s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of animals and literature, and the timeless charm of the Christmas card tradition. The intricate details and beautiful illustrations make this a cherished keepsake that continues to bring joy and wonder to all who receive it.
