EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and nostalgic image from the late Victorian era, this Christmas card features four little girls in their nightdresses climbing the stairs with a sense of anticipation and excitement. Dressed in crisp, white nightgowns, the girls hold onto the banister with one hand and the handrail of a red stool with the other, their nightgowns billowing slightly as they make their way up the tiled staircase. The warm glow of candles flickers in the background, casting a soft, golden light over the scene. The girls' expressions are filled with a sense of wonder and excitement, perhaps in anticipation of the Christmas morning that lies ahead. The tiled floor and carpeted stairs add to the sense of warmth and coziness, while the ornate details of the banister and newel post add an air of elegance and sophistication. This image, which dates back to the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the past. The girls' nightgowns, with their high collars and long sleeves, are reminiscent of the Victorian era, while the use of candles for lighting adds to the historical authenticity of the scene. The card itself serves as a reminder of the simple joys and traditions of the past, making it a cherished keepsake for collectors of historical and Christmas-themed imagery.
