EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Four Pug Dogs Engrossed in Newspapers, circa 1890s In this delightful turn-of-the-century Christmas card, four jovial pug dogs sit comfortably on plush cushions, each intently focused on their own newspaper. Their expressive faces, adorned with glasses and a pince-nez, mirror the human curiosity and fascination with the latest news. The playful use of anthropomorphism adds a whimsical touch to this charming scene. However, the mischievous nature of these canine companions is not entirely tamed. A comic verse at the bottom of the card reads: "Four Pugs on a Christmas Day, Sitting in a cozy way, Reading the news with great delight, But don't forget to muzzle them tight!" The verse serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping these lively companions under control, even during the most joyful of holidays. The pugs' muzzles, barely visible beneath their festive bows, add a touch of irony to the scene. This image, from The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a delightful glimpse into the past, where animals were humanized and Christmas cards were a cherished tradition. The combination of humor, sentimentality, and anthropomorphism makes this card a timeless treasure.
