EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Victorian-era Christmas card image, featuring six monkeys in holiday cheer. Dressed in red and green holiday attire, the monkeys are seated around a wooden pole adorned with colorful ornaments and garlands. One playful monkey reaches up high, eager to grab a handful of juicy, ripe fruits dangling from the pole's top. The other monkeys seem amused by their friend's antics, with some looking on curiously while others appear to be munching on their own treats. This delightful scene, captured in the late 1890s, showcases the lighthearted and humorous side of the Victorian era. The use of monkeys as the subjects adds an unexpected and comic twist to the traditional Christmas card theme. The intricate details of the monkeys' clothing and the ornate pole decorations highlight the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The card's vintage charm and nostalgic appeal make it a unique and cherished addition to any holiday collection. Imagine the surprise and delight of receiving such a one-of-a-kind card during the holiday season. This image, from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and adds a touch of humor and joy to the festive season.
