EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Olde Time Christmas: A Delightful Dose of Edwardian Humor! Step back in time with this early 20th century comic postcard, featuring an amusing encounter between Father Christmas and an Old Maid. The scene unfolds in a cozy bedroom, where the Old Maid, a spinster in her middle age, lies in bed, her eyes wide with shock and fear as Father Christmas, a thin and rather skinny Santa Claus, peeks in through the window. The Old Maid's expression is priceless - a perfect blend of surprise and dismay. Father Christmas, with his sack slung over his shoulder, looks equally taken aback, as if he's stumbled upon an unexpected situation. This comical postcard, a charming relic from the Edwardian era, is a testament to the playful and lighthearted spirit of Christmas during that time. The image, with its humorous take on the traditional Father Christmas character and the Old Maid stereotype, is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day. Whether you're a fan of vintage postcards, Christmas history, or just looking for a fun and quirky addition to your collection, this delightful card is a must-have!
