EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Two Men on the Ice by Ernest Griset (circa 1890s) Step back in time to the late 1800s and experience the frosty fun of a Comic Christmas card by renowned French illustrator, Ernest Griset. In this charming scene, two men dressed in heavy coats, hats, and scarves venture out onto a thin layer of ice for a wintery skate. The plump man, puffing on a cigar, confidently glides along, while his thin companion, clutching a skate, teeters precariously on the brink of disaster. Just as the thin man's fate seems sealed, his faithful dog rushes to the rescue. With a powerful tug on the man's coat, the plump skater pulls his friend to safety, averting a potentially icy end. The scene is filled with humor and a sense of camaraderie, as the two men share a moment of relief and gratitude. The background is adorned with signs warning of the danger of thin ice, adding a touch of realism to the lighthearted image. The men's expressions and body language convey the cold, wintery conditions, while their clothing and accessories, such as cigars and skates, offer a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the late Victorian era. This delightful Christmas card, with its timeless appeal and charming sense of humor, is a must-have for collectors of historical holiday art and those who appreciate the beauty and whimsy of the past.
