EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming Victorian greeting card, we are transported back to a festive scene from the late 19th century. Father Christmas takes on the role of Old King Cole, surrounded by a delightful ensemble of ducks and a turkey holding musical instruments. The vibrant colors of this color lithograph bring life to the whimsical characters depicted. Father Christmas sits atop his throne, adorned with a crown fit for royalty. The ducks and turkey bow before him in reverence, their anthropomorphic features adding an element of humor to the composition. They hold guitars and bass guitars while others play various instruments such as goblets and drums. The warm glow emanating from the crackling fire illuminates the room, casting dancing shadows upon the log walls. This cozy setting creates an inviting atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of Victorian celebrations during Christmastime. This delightful print showcases not only artistic skill but also reflects the joyous nature of holiday traditions cherished throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even in times long past, people found ways to celebrate with merriment and music. As we gaze upon this nostalgic image captured by eDavid Pearson, we can't help but feel transported into a world where laughter fills every corner. Let it serve as inspiration for our own festive gatherings today - may they be filled with warmth, cheer, and harmonious melodies!
