EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and humorous Christmas card featuring a cheerful pig donning a smock and holding bottles of wine in each trotter. Dating back to the 1890s, this antique card showcases the playful use of anthropomorphism, a popular artistic style during this time that humanized animals. The pig's friendly smile and rosy cheeks radiate warmth and merriment, inviting us to join in the festive spirit. The intricately cut-out design of the card adds a delightful touch, with the pig's smock and the bottles adorned with festive holly and ivy. The pig's trotters, peeking out from beneath the smock, add a touch of humor and lightness to the scene. This card is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the Victorian era, where even the simplest of objects and animals could be transformed into cherished holiday greetings. The use of wine bottles in the card adds to the festive atmosphere, suggesting a toast to the joy and merriment of the season. As we admire this beautiful piece of history, we can't help but be charmed by the pig's jovial expression and the intricate details of the card. It's a reminder of the simple pleasures of the past and the enduring power of humor and creativity to bring people together during the holiday season.
