EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the charming world of late Victorian humor with this unique New Year card from the 1890s. The front of the card features an intricately designed jar of potted meat, its pale green label adorned with a pink ribbon and the playful label text reading "Potted Fowl." But as the saying goes, "You can't judge a book by its cover," and this is certainly true for this whimsical card. Upon opening the card, a delightful surprise awaits: a hen in a nest of straw, proudly sitting atop the "meat." The hen, with its pink and white feathers, adds a touch of liveliness and humor to the otherwise mundane image of a jar of potted meat. The hen's expression, with a hint of amusement, adds to the playful nature of the card. This charming New Year card, with its intricate design and unexpected reveal, offers a glimpse into the lighter side of Victorian life. The card's use of humor and the juxtaposition of the ordinary jar of potted meat and the lively hen make it a standout piece from the era. The card's muted color palette, with its pale green and pink hues, adds to its vintage charm and makes it a delightful addition to any collection of antique New Year cards or Victorian memorabilia.
