EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian Christmas card design with this charming and quirky find from the 1890s. This intricately detailed lobster-shaped card, adorned with vibrant hues of pink and orange, is a delightful departure from the traditional holiday motifs of the time. The lobster, a popular delicacy during the Victorian era, adds an element of surprise and playful humor to the festive occasion. With its expressive eyes and outstretched claws, this lobster seems to wish you a "claw-some" Christmas, inviting a smile and a hearty laugh. The use of wordplay and puns was a common trend in Victorian Christmas cards, adding a layer of verbal wit to the visual designs. This lobster card is a prime example of this trend, offering a delightful blend of humor and visual appeal. The intricate cutout design, with its delicate lines and precise detailing, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the era. As you hold this card in your hands, imagine the delight of the recipient as they opened their mailbox to find this unexpected and cheerful greeting. The lobster card serves as a reminder of the importance of adding a touch of whimsy and humor to our holiday celebrations, even in the most unexpected ways.
