EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Victorian die-cut shape Christmas card transports us back to the festive season of 1880. In this delightful image, a group of anthropomorphic cats dons human clothes and holds music sheets as they joyfully sing in harmony. The intricate details of their outfits, complete with bow ties and conductor's batons, showcase the creativity and whimsy that characterized Victorian holiday cards. The vibrant colors captured through the lithographic printing technique bring life to these feline carolers, making them even more endearing. Each cat seems to have its own unique personality, adding charm and individuality to the scene. It is fascinating to observe how our ancestors found amusement in imagining animals taking on human traits during Christmas celebrations. This particular print is part of a private collection and was expertly photographed by eDavid Pearson for Bridgeman Images. The work belongs to an English School from the 19th century and falls under public domain due to its age. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of Christmas traditions and how they continue to captivate our hearts across generations. This charming Victorian greeting card serves as a testament to the enduring magic that surrounds this special time of year – where even cats can become merry singers spreading holiday cheer.
