EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas and New Year card captures the festive spirit of the late 19th century. The image showcases a child dressed in a traditional Bavarian costume, adding an element of cultural diversity to the holiday celebrations. With a platter held delicately in their hands, the young boy proudly presents a mouthwatering Christmas pudding adorned with fruits like apples and grapes. The color lithograph technique used in this print brings out the vibrant hues of the scene, enhancing its visual appeal. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the intricate feathered hat worn by the child to the mistletoe and holly decorations that surround them.
