EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this charming musical monkey image from The David Pearson Collection, available through Mary Evans Picture Library. This delightful Christmas card, circa 1890s, showcases a humanized monkey in a festive setting, composing a musical manuscript with great concentration. Dressed in a red fez, blue jacket, and yellow waistcoat, the monkey sits comfortably on a stool, holding a quill pen and a feather in his hand. The playful anthropomorphism of animals was a popular trend during this period, adding a touch of humor and comic relief to everyday life. The monkey's composing attitude is further emphasized by the presence of a manuscript on the table, suggesting that this musical monkey is not just playing an instrument but creating his own music. The intricate details of the monkey's clothing and the ornate Christmas decorations in the background add to the visual appeal of this image. This musical monkey card is a testament to the creativity and whimsy of the late Victorian era, a time when the boundaries between reality and fantasy were often blurred. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of life and the power of imagination, making it a perfect addition to your Christmas card collection or as a unique gift for music lovers and animal enthusiasts alike.
