EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and whimsical image features six monkeys playfully gathered around a large, brass, horn-shaped Christmas card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The monkeys, with their expressive faces and human-like postures, seem to be engaged in a lively musical performance, each blowing into their own miniature horns. The circular, shaped card adds to the festive and playful atmosphere, with the monkeys' red rosettes and holiday bows adding a touch of Christmas cheer. During the late 1800s, the popularity of Darwinism and the study of primates led to a fascination with monkeys and apes in popular culture. This image reflects the humor and lightheartedness of the time, as well as the growing interest in these animals. The use of cut-out monkeys and a brass horn-shaped card adds to the comic and musical theme, making this an intriguing and unique addition to any Victorian-era Christmas collection. The intricate details of the monkeys' fur, the shimmering brass horns, and the delicate holiday bows make this a beautiful and charming piece of history. The image invites us to imagine the joy and laughter that must have surrounded the creation and sharing of this card during the holiday season over a century ago.
