A Merry Victorian Canine Christmas: Three Cheerful Dogs Enjoy the Holiday Season Outside Their Kennels (circa 1890s) As the snowflakes gently dance through the winter air, the festive spirit of the season fills the hearts of all creatures great and small. In this charming late Victorian Christmas card from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, three jovial dogs eagerly await the joys of the holiday season, sitting comfortably outside their cozy kennels. The first dog, a robust Bulldog, proudly dons a blue collar and a playful expression, as if sharing a secret with his canine companions. The second dog, a Collie, gazes up at the festive scene with a curious and hopeful look, while the third, a Spaniel, tilts its head in amusement, perhaps pondering the comic irony of celebrating the season from the comfort of their kennels. The card's verse reads, "Three Cheerful Dogs on a Merry Christmas Day, Sitting Outside Their Kennels, Waiting for the Holiday." This delightful image captures the essence of the holiday season, reminding us that even the most beloved pets have their own unique ways of celebrating the magic of Christmas. As the sun sets on another day in the 1890s, these three dogs, with their merry hearts and wagging tails, embrace the spirit of the season, proving that the simple pleasures of companionship and love can make every day feel like a holiday.
