EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful Victorian Christmas card from the 1890s featuring a playful pun and a charming illustration of a man holding a bag with a crab peeking out. The handwritten verse on the card reads, "I'll crab a few more bags for Xmas, and then I'll have my fill! / But I'll never get enough, for crab is such a precious fish." This humorous pun on the word "crab" as both a crustacean and a grumpy person adds a touch of wit and merriment to the holiday season. The image of the man, dressed in a winter coat and holding the bag with one hand and gesturing with the other, exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation for the festivities to come. The intricate detailing of the illustration, from the folds of the man's coat to the crab's claws and the texture of the bag, showcases the skill and artistry of Victorian-era card makers. This charming and humorous card is a reminder of the rich history of Christmas traditions and the enduring appeal of a well-timed pun.
