EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and whimsical Christmas card featuring an abundance of boots and shoes. Dated circa 1890s, this delightful greeting card invites us to celebrate the joyous season while poking fun at the idea of wearing oneself out during the festivities. The image showcases an array of polished footwear, from boots to shoes, in various shades of blue, green, pink, and red, scattered across a cozy carpeted floor. The clean and well-maintained appearance of the footwear speaks to the meticulous care and attention given to personal appearance during this era. The playful wordplay in the card's message, "May Christmas joys not wear you out," adds a touch of humor and lightheartedness to the design. The use of the verb "wear" in both the title and the message is a clever pun that highlights the double meaning of the phrase. As we gaze upon this historic card, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the late Victorian era and the unique sense of humor that defined it. This beautiful and humorous piece is a must-have for any history or shoe enthusiast, and a delightful addition to your holiday card collection.
