EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian-era imagination with this charming and enchanting image of humanised cabbages taking a bow on a Christmas card. This delightful print, titled "Humanised Cabbage on a Christmas Card," is the creation of German artist Herman Rothe, circa the 1880s. The cabbages, with their crinkly green leaves and expressive faces, are depicted as elegant women, dressed in Victorian attire and taking a graceful bow. Their hair is styled in intricate updos, adorned with festive ribbons and flowers. The cabbages' faces are filled with merriment and joy, adding a playful touch to the holiday season. The Victorian era was known for its love of anthropomorphism, the attribution of human qualities to non-human entities. This artistic trend is beautifully captured in Rothe's work, which invites us to see the world around us in a new and imaginative way. The cabbages' human-like qualities add a sense of warmth and humor to the Christmas card, making it a unique and cherished piece of holiday history. The intricate details of the cabbages' dresses, the delicate folds of their leaves, and the twinkle in their eyes, all contribute to the magical and enchanting atmosphere of this Victorian Christmas card. This print is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the joy and wonder of the holiday season.
