EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian-era art with this charming and humorous Christmas card from the 1890s. The image features an artist in a blue and white striped jacket and trousers, with a shocked expression on his face as he tumbles backwards from an easel. A hole in the canvas of his painting reveals the surprised face of a man peering in from the other side. This intriguing scene is brought to life through the use of a cutout design, adding an element of playful comedy to the traditional Christmas card. The artist's disheveled hair and outstretched arms give the impression of a man caught off guard by an unexpected turn of events. The use of color and detail in the card's design is reminiscent of the late Victorian era, with its focus on visual arts and the growing popularity of painting as a pastime for the middle class. This one-of-a-kind card is a delightful way to add a touch of humor and nostalgia to your holiday celebrations.
