Three Men Peering Over the Garden Wall: A Victorian New Year's Eve Tradition (circa 1890s) This charming and intriguing reversible New Year card, featuring three men gazing over a garden wall, is a captivating glimpse into the late Victorian era. The card, which dates back to the 1890s, is a fine example of the elaborate and detailed designs that were popular during this time. The scene on the front of the card shows three well-dressed men, two of whom are wearing bowler hats and checking their watches, while the third man looks on with a curious expression. Their attire, consisting of check suits, turn-up trousers, and top hats, is reminiscent of the fashionable dress of the late 19th century. The men's poses and expressions suggest a sense of anticipation and excitement, perhaps in reference to the approaching New Year. The garden wall, adorned with ivy and flowers, serves as a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The wall's reversible nature adds an element of surprise, as the other side of the card reveals a different scene entirely. The verse at the top of the card reads, "Another Year is Coming, Another Round of Fun," further emphasizing the celebratory nature of the New Year. The card's intricate cutout design, with its delicate details and fine lines, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the Victorian era's printmakers. This card, with its charming design and nostalgic appeal, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the traditions of the late Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys that come with the turn of the year, and the excitement and anticipation that comes with the promise of a new beginning.
