Cooking Hearts Kitchen Pointed Tarts Veil Made
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late Victorian-era photograph captures the whimsical character of the Queen of Hearts as she engages in a festive holiday activity: baking tarts. Dressed in a vibrant, medieval-inspired costume, the Queen dons a pointed hat adorned with hearts and a long, flowing veil. Her regal attire is completed with a voluminous, blue gown and a red, orange, and yellow apron. The scene is set in a cozy kitchen, filled with the warm glow of Christmas day. The Queen of Hearts, a beloved figure from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," is known for her impulsive and capricious nature. However, in this image, she is depicted in a more nurturing role, surrounded by the simple pleasures of home and the joy of the holiday season. The tarts she is making, with their inviting colors and enticing aroma, represent the warmth and comfort that comes from the hearth and the heart. This photograph, which dates back to the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past and the traditions of a bygone era. It also highlights the enduring appeal of the Queen of Hearts and her iconic role in literature and popular culture. With its rich history and intriguing details, this image is a must-have for anyone interested in Victorian heritage, Christmas traditions, or the art of storytelling.
