EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian New Year scrap, dated circa 1890s, showcases two young women engaged in a lively musical performance. The central image features a man named Banjo, with a mischievous grin, strumming his open-stringed banjo. The banjo, with its five frets and simple design, was a popular instrument during the late Victorian era. On either side of Banjo, two young women gracefully perform on their respective stringed instruments. The violinist, with a serious expression, holds her instrument in the traditional position, her bow poised above the strings. The other woman, perhaps a cellist, stands behind her potted plant, her hand gently resting on the instrument's neck. The scrap is adorned with intricate floral and foliage designs, adding to the festive and celebratory atmosphere. The verse at the top reads, "A Merry New Year to All, Old Friends and New," while the verse at the bottom reads, "May Fortune Smile Upon Us All." This delightful image captures the spirit of musical camaraderie and the joyous occasion of the New Year. The open strings of the banjo and the vibrant colors of the scrap evoke a sense of anticipation and excitement for the year to come. The young women's focused expressions and the lively energy of their performance add to the overall sense of celebration and joy.
