EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical drawing from the late 19th century captures a comical scene of a couple objecting to carol singers outside their window. The Christmas greetings card, created by an English School artist, showcases the humorous side of Victorian British culture during the festive season. In this whimsical illustration, we see a grumpy man and woman peering out from behind their curtains as three musicians play traditional carols on the street below. With a jug in hand, the disgruntled couple pours water onto the unsuspecting carolers, adding an element of slapstick humor to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in capturing not only the facial expressions of both parties but also in depicting musical instruments being played with gusto. This adds depth and liveliness to this charming piece of ephemera. With its playful depiction of holiday traditions and witty commentary on human nature, this chromolitho print serves as a reminder that even during Victorian times, there were those who preferred silence over seasonal songs. A perfect addition to any collection or display celebrating British history and European cultural heritage.
