EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Delightful Comic Scenes of Holiday Merriment from the Victorian Era: Now Then Play, A Cricket Stump, and We're All Frozen Out Step into the magical world of the late 1890s with these three charming comic scenes from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library. Each scene captures the spirit of the holiday season with a touch of whimsy and wit. In the first scene, "Now Then Play," we see a group of children engaged in a game of wordplay and puns. The children, bundled up against the cold weather, are attempting to balance a pink ball on a stick, with one boy exclaiming, "Now then, play, pink ball, now then!" This playful scene is a reminder that even in the depths of winter, children can find joy in the simplest of games. The second scene, "A Cricket Stump," showcases an old man with a mischievous grin, seemingly enjoying a game of cricket with an unsuspecting insect. The cricket, perched on a stump, looks surprised as the old man prepares to take a mighty kick. This pun-filled scene is a nod to the popular Victorian pastime of cricket and the unexpected humor that could be found in everyday life. Lastly, in "We're All Frozen Out," we find a group of men huddled together, trying to keep warm by a frozen pond. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and shared suffering as they all exclaim, "We're all frozen out!" This scene is a reminder that even in the harshest of winter weather, the bonds of friendship can keep us warm. These three comic scenes are a delightful reminder of the holiday spirit and the simple joys of the Victorian era. Each scene is beautifully decorated with intricate details, from the falling leaves and flowers in the background to the pink and white colors that evoke the winter season. These scenes are sure to bring a smile to your face and a warm feeling to your heart.
