EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Victorian Christmas: Two Cats, a Dog, and a Mischievous Parrot Step back in time to the late 1890s and join us for a delightful scene of holiday mischief. This charming antique Christmas card, featuring two cats, a dog, and a parrot, is a testament to the playful spirit of the Victorian era. The two cats, one with a striped coat and the other with a spotted one, sit side by side on a windowsill, their curious eyes fixed on the parrot perched on a nearby branch. The dog, with its eager expression and wagging tail, seems to be the instigator of the fun, as it reaches out a paw towards the parrot's colorful tail feathers. The parrot, with its vibrant plumage and beady eyes, is not amused. It squawks indignantly, its beak open in a defensive posture, as it tries to keep a safe distance from the mischievous canine. The cats, however, appear to find the situation most amusing, their tails twitching with excitement. This humorous and comic illustration captures the mischievousness and playful spirit of the holiday season, a tradition that continues to this day. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textured fabric of the cats' collars to the delicate feathers of the parrot, add to the overall charm of this delightful piece of holiday history.
