EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian-era Christmas with this charming anthropomorphic greeting card from the late 1890s, now available as a print from Mary Evans Picture Library. This delightful image features two penguins bundled up against the winter chill, enjoying a leisurely stroll through the snowy landscape. But as they amble along, a mischievous sparrow sneaks up behind one of the unsuspecting penguins and, with a deft flick of its beak, picks a pocket! The pickpocket sparrow adds an unexpected twist to this otherwise idyllic scene, making this card both playful and entertaining. The use of anthropomorphism in this Victorian greeting card adds a sweet and charming touch, allowing us to connect with these beloved winter animals in a new and engaging way. The intricate details of the penguins' feathers, the sparrow's beady eyes, and the delicate snowflakes that dance through the air all contribute to the seasonal magic of this beautiful print. This charming card, which dates back to circa 1890, is a delightful reminder of the joy and wonder of the holiday season. Whether displayed as a decorative piece in your home or given as a thoughtful gift to a loved one, this print is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who encounters it. So take a moment to step back in time and enjoy the simple pleasures of a Victorian Christmas with this enchanting image from Mary Evans Picture Library.
