EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and witness an extraordinary spectacle of holiday cheer! This enchanting Victorian-era Christmas card, hailing from the 1890s, presents an amusing scene of frogs engaged in a lively boxing match, surrounded by the serene beauty of a lush riverbank. The frogs, donning boxing gloves, leap and jab with playful determination, their green bodies contrasting against the emerald grass and vibrant toadstools. The festive atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of a kingfisher and other birds, perched atop a tree or a nearby lily pad, watching the froggy fisticuffs with rapt attention. A curious rat peeks out from behind a lily, adding an element of surprise to this whimsical scene. The frogs' humanized expressions and anthropomorphic qualities add a delightful touch of comic relief, making this card a true testament to the spirit of fun and enjoyment during the holiday season. The frogs' boxing match, a unique and endearing sporting activity, is a reminder that even the smallest creatures can partake in games and exercises that bring joy and laughter. This charming vintage Christmas card, from The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, is a captivating reminder of the simple pleasures and humor that have long been associated with the holiday season. Let the frogs' spirited boxing match inspire you to embrace the playful and lighthearted side of Christmas, and may your holiday be filled with laughter, love, and the joy of the season.
