EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and whimsical Christmas and New Year telegram addressed to Sallie, dating back to the late Victorian era of 1890. The telegram is adorned with intricate hand-drawn illustrations and a heartfelt verse, adding a personal touch to the season's greetings. The scene features a quaint cottage nestled in a snowy landscape, with a Christmas tree standing tall through the window. Outside, a roast pheasant hangs from a hook, while holly and mistletoe decorate the door. The image is filled with good luck symbols, such as the Queen of Mab, a mythical figure believed to bring fortune. The telegram also includes a playful reference to a Christmas pudding and a pre-printed form, adding a touch of humor to the traditional message. The elegant handwriting and intricate details of the illustrations showcase the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, making this a unique and cherished piece of Christmas history.
