EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas card captures a serene moment by the river, transporting us back to the festive season of 1880. Painted in vibrant colors through lithography by Ernest Henry Griset, it showcases two men engrossed in their favorite pastime - fishing. The scene exudes tranquility as the men patiently cast their rods into the glistening water, hoping for a bountiful catch. Their hats protect them from the winter chill while adding a touch of elegance to their attire. The fishing net lies nearby, ready to scoop up any lucky fish that may take the bait. As we admire this delightful image, we can almost hear faint whispers of celebration and joy carried on the crisp December air. This picturesque scene serves as both an invitation to join these gentlemen in their leisurely pursuit and a reminder of the simple pleasures that define Christmas. Ernest Griset's artistic talent shines through his attention to detail, capturing not only human figures but also depicting wildlife with precision and grace. The presence of animals adds depth and liveliness to this idyllic setting. Now preserved within a private collection, this Victorian Christmas card continues to evoke nostalgia for times gone by. It reminds us that amidst all our modern-day festivities and commercialism, there is still beauty in embracing traditions from eras long past – like spending peaceful moments outdoors with loved ones during Christmastime.
