EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the delightful spectacle of five jubilant pigs engaging in an impromptu dance on this charming Victorian-era Christmas card from the late 1890s. The merry band of porcine performers, dressed in festive attire and holding hands, twirl and leap in unison, their snouts turned up in laughter and joy. The playful scene is reminiscent of human dancers, showcasing the anthropomorphic charm of the era. This whimsical card, part of The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, harks back to a time when humor and anthropomorphism reigned supreme in Christmas card design. The pigs, with their rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes, seem to invite us to join in their merriment. Their carrot-holding counterparts, watching from the sidelines, add an element of anticipation and fun. The card, which features a German Hildesheimer Faulkner design, is a testament to the enduring appeal of animals in Christmas celebrations. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase the craftsmanship and artistry of the time, making it a cherished keepsake for generations to come. As we take a moment to appreciate this delightful image, we are reminded of the spirit of joy and togetherness that the holiday season brings. So, let us dance along with these five merry pigs, and let the laughter and merriment of the season fill our hearts and homes.
