Coming Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating Victorian Christmas card design by Robert Dudley, dating back to the 1890s, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. This charming card, part of a set of five, beautifully captures the essence of the transition from the old year to the new one. At the center of the image, an elderly man, dressed in a long coat and top hat, sits on a wooden chair, his face etched with the lines of time. He holds a staff in one hand and a goat's head in the other, symbolizing the passing of the old year. Above him, a whirligig figure, with the faces of the Castell Brothers, represents the fleeting nature of time. To the left, a young boy, dressed in a red jacket and holding a cart, represents the new year. He is accompanied by two boys, who are eagerly pulling on the wings of a large clock face, symbolizing the progression of time. The boys' youthful energy and excitement contrast sharply with the solemnity of the old man, emphasizing the cyclical nature of time and the renewal that comes with the new year. In the background, two men, dressed in transport worker uniforms, are shown loading goods onto a cart, signifying the continuity of daily life and the passage of time. The intricate detail and rich colors of the print make it a stunning addition to any holiday display or personal collection. Overall, "Coming Time" is a thought-provoking and visually stunning representation of the Victorian era's interpretation of the Christmas season and the passing of time. The image invites us to reflect on the past year and look forward to the possibilities of the new one.
