EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a Victorian New Year's Eve celebration, as depicted in this beautiful three-part card from the 1890s, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The central scene is filled with joy and merriment, as children and adults alike come together for an evening of dance and fun. In the first vignette, a young girl in a white dress with a blue sash and a ribbon in her hair plays the harpsichord, her expression one of concentration and delight. Surrounded by her sisters, who fan themselves with lace fans and wear matching white dresses adorned with bows, they seem to be lost in the music. In the second scene, a grandfather in a suit and a grandmother in a white dress with a red sash watch over their grandchildren as they dance around a table filled with candles and holly. The children, dressed in their finest clothes, laugh and clap their hands, their faces glowing in the warm light of the candles. In the final scene, a father in a suit and a mother in a white dress with a green ribbon sit by the window, enjoying the festivities from a distance. The leaded window frames the scene outside, where more children play with candles and mistletoe hangs from the ceiling. This charming card captures the essence of a bygone era, where generations came together to celebrate the new year in the comfort of their own homes. The joy, fun, and enjoyment of the family scenes are timeless, making this print a beautiful addition to any home decor.
