EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Wax, Glue, Gum, and Dye! Step back in time to the late 1890s and revel in the quirky charm of this vintage Christmas card. This delightful piece showcases a playful pun on the traditional sealing methods of the era: wax, glue, gum, and dye. The card's central image is a cheerful scene of a man in a red Santa hat, holding a pot of sealing wax and a bottle of dye. He is surrounded by various tools of the trade: a pot of glue, a stick of gum, and a seal. The man's expression is one of amusement, as if sharing a secret with the viewer. The comic verse below the image adds to the card's whimsical appeal. It reads: "Wax, glue, gum and dye, Making Christmas cards come alive, Seal them up with a merry 'click,' Wishing you a jolly Xmas tick!" The use of puns and wordplay adds to the humour and verbal wit of the card. The red pictogram at the bottom left, featuring a reindeer and the words "Xmas," further emphasizes the holiday spirit. This charming card is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the Victorian era, where even the most mundane tasks could be turned into a source of joy and amusement. A wonderful addition to any vintage Christmas card collection or as a unique and thoughtful gift, this card is sure to bring a smile to the face of the recipient.
