A Merry Go Rounder
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and whimsical Victorian Christmas card designed by Robert Dudley, circa 1890s, published by the Castell Brothers. This delightful card features a lively scene of a family of robins engaged in a merry dance around a steaming pudding. The robins, dressed in humanized clothing, are depicted with cheerful expressions and animated movements, showcasing the playful use of anthropomorphism in Victorian Christmas card design. The mother robin, dressed in a festive apron and cap, stands proudly at the center, overseeing her merrily dancing offspring. The father robin, wearing a top hat and waistcoat, joins in the fun, while the youngest robin, clad in a red knitted sweater and cap, hops along with delight. The background is adorned with holly leaves and berries, adding to the festive atmosphere. The pudding, a traditional Christmas dish, sits at the heart of the scene, surrounded by the joyful family of robins. The use of food in Victorian Christmas cards was a common motif, symbolizing the abundance and warmth of the holiday season. The overall effect of this card is one of merriment, joy, and the celebration of family and tradition. This beautiful card is part of a set of nine, each featuring different subjects and scenes, making it an excellent addition to any Victorian Christmas card collection. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration have been beautifully preserved, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and creativity of the Victorian era. "A Merry Go Rounder" is a timeless reminder of the joy and wonder of the holiday season and the enduring appeal of Christmas cards as a cherished tradition.
