EDITORS COMMENTS
A Victorian Delight: The Temptation of Good Saint Anthony Noel by Robert Dudley (circa 1890s) Step into the enchanting world of a bygone era with this exquisite Christmas card, titled 'The Temptation of Good Saint Anthony Noel' by renowned Victorian artist Robert Dudley. This charming illustration, dating back to the late 1800s, depicts the jovial Saint Anthony Noel, surrounded by an irresistible array of Christmas delicacies. The centerpiece of this scene is Saint Anthony Noel, a cherubic figure with a warm and inviting smile. He sits in a cozy nook, engrossed in a book, oblivious to the tantalizing Christmas treats that surround him. A plump goose and a majestic turkey gracefully rest on a table, their golden brown feathers glistening under the soft, warm light. A steaming Christmas pudding, adorned with holly and berries, tempts Saint Anthony with its rich, sweet aroma. The scene is further enhanced by an assortment of nuts and nutcrackers, adding a playful touch to the illustration. The humanized birds, with their friendly expressions and rosy cheeks, seem to beckon Saint Anthony to indulge in their succulent flesh. The castell brothers, known for their high-quality Victorian Christmas cards, proudly present this delightful work of art as a part of their extensive collection. This charming image, filled with anthropomorphism and the spirit of the season, is a testament to the timeless allure of Christmas and the joy it brings to our lives. The Temptation of Good Saint Anthony Noel by Robert Dudley is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts of Victorian art and Christmas cards.
