EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of this Victorian-era New Year card from the late 1890s, featuring three cherubic brothers in the midst of a playful brawl. Dressed in red and green, with their chubby bodies and wings spread wide, these cherubs, also known as Cupids or Cherubim, have gotten a little carried away in their mischievous antics. The scene unfolds around a red and green table laden with a roast turkey, vegetables, and a bottle of wine, all of which have been disrupted by the cherubs' naughty behavior. One cherub, holding a knife, seems to have accidentally sliced the tablecloth, while another, wielding a fork, has knocked over a dish of food. A third cherub, with a smirk on his face, hits his brothers with a punch, causing chaos and breaking a cup or bottle on the floor. The cherubs' crying and wailing can be heard in the background, adding to the lively and chaotic atmosphere of the scene. The steps leading up to the door provide a sense of height and depth, drawing the viewer into the action. This historical New Year card, with its vibrant colors and lively depiction of cherubs misbehaving, offers a delightful glimpse into the mischievous spirit of the Victorian era.
