EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry and Joyous Christmas - Victorian greetings card captures the festive spirit of a bygone era. This charming chromolitho print, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, exudes warmth and merriment. The image depicts a lively scene known as 'The Run, ' where various elements come together to create a delightful holiday tableau. In this idyllic countryside setting, we see a horse-drawn cart filled with joyful passengers, including women donning bonnets and men wielding whips. Dogs eagerly join in on the excitement as they chase after ducks that scatter across the path. The vibrant illustration showcases not only the joyous atmosphere but also highlights rural life with farm animals such as pigs and horses adding to the picturesque scenery. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate carriages and gigs to the beautifully adorned horses, every element reflects Victorian elegance. The artwork evokes nostalgia for simpler times when Christmas celebrations were centered around community gatherings and shared festivities. This historical gem offers us a glimpse into both English culture during this period and European traditions surrounding Christmas. It serves as a reminder of how holiday customs have evolved over time while preserving their essence of spreading joy and cheer. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, it transports us back in time to experience A Merry and Joyous Christmas through the eyes of our ancestors.
