EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a magical world of Christmas past with this delightful Victorian-era card featuring a jolly Robin perched atop a goose as they glide across a pristine, icy pond during the festive season. Dressed in his vibrant red breastplate and feathered hat, the robin clutches the goose's reins with a cheerful grin, steering the willing bird through the winter wonderland. The goose, adorned with a string of holly and ivy, seems to relish the unexpected adventure, its proud neck arched and wings spread slightly for balance. The card's edge is decorated with intricate lace and delicate white filigree, adding to the ethereal, dreamlike quality of the scene. The overall effect is one of fun and enjoyment, as the humanised robin and goose share a moment of comic humour that transcends the boundaries of time. This charming card, reminiscent of the late 1890s, invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of the season. As we gaze upon the festive scene, we can almost hear the gentle crunch of snow beneath our feet and feel the crisp winter air on our cheeks. A truly enchanting addition to any holiday collection, this card is sure to bring a smile to the faces of friends and family as they share in the joy and wonder of the holiday season.
