EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful Victorian Christmas card captures the whimsical spirit of the holiday season with its charming depiction of four owls riding penny farthing bicycles. Dating back to around 1880, this color lithograph print showcases the creativity and imagination of the English School in the 19th century. The image features four beautifully illustrated owls, each perched on their own unique penny farthing bicycle adorned with festive decorations. The vibrant colors bring life to this enchanting scene, as flowers bloom in full splendor and add a touch of elegance to the composition. Sending greetings through an envelope, this Victorian Christmas card was undoubtedly meant to spread joy and cheer during a time when handwritten messages were cherished. Owls have long been associated with wisdom and mystique, making them fitting messengers for well wishes during this special time of year. As we admire this artwork from a private collection, it serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, people found joy in celebrating Christmas with loved ones. This timeless piece evokes feelings of nostalgia while also capturing the essence of festivity and merriment that continues to define our modern-day celebrations.
