A Christmas Dream
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Circa 1890s: A captivating image of two children, a boy and a girl, bundled up in coats and hats, gazing out at the wintery scene before them from the deck of a fantastical, carved wooden boat. The boy, with a fur-lined hood pulled up over his ears, clutches a sailor's lantern, its warm glow illuminating their faces as they sail through the icy waters of a frozen sea. The girl, her pink coat and hood adorned with intricate embroidery, reaches out to touch an icicle that hangs from the edge of the boat, her eyes wide with wonder and excitement. Surrounded by a star-studded night sky, the children's boat glides through a winter wonderland of snow-covered ice floes, with birds taking flight overhead and fish swimming below. The strange and beautiful landscape is reminiscent of a far-off, Arctic North Pole, where the cold weather and snowy conditions only add to the magic of the season. This late Victorian Christmas card, with its intricate carvings and historical charm, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where the joys of the holiday season were found in the simple pleasures of family, warmth, and the beauty of nature. As the children sleep peacefully in the cabin below deck, their dreams filled with fantastical adventures and magical creatures, we too are invited to dream and imagine the wonders of the world around us.
