EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming scene from the 1920s: Young Pierrot and Pierette diligently posting their Christmas cards in this delightful photograph from 1923. The image captures the festive spirit of the season, as the two figures, likely a couple, carefully affix stamps to their cards and drop them into the red postbox. Dressed in fashionable attire of the era, Pierrot dons a dapper suit and hat, while Pierette wears a pretty dress and a stylish cloche hat. The winter landscape outside adds to the seasonal ambiance, with trees adorned with snow and the warm glow of streetlights illuminating the scene. This heartwarming moment encapsulates the tradition of sending holiday greetings to loved ones, a cherished custom that continues to this day. The photograph, titled 'Posting Christmas Cards,' was taken by Agnes Richardson and is an enduring reminder of the joy and connection that comes with the holiday season.
