EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry and Mischievous Christmas: Two Plump Men and a Playful Dog Skate on Thin Ice in this Delightfully Comic Victorian Christmas Card Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and humorous Christmas card by renowned French artist Ernest Griset. Circa the 1890s, this comic masterpiece captures the spirit of the holiday season with its lighthearted depiction of two plump men and a mischievous dog enjoying a wintery skate on thin ice. The men, bundled up in their thick coats, hats, and scarves, are focused intently on their skates, their faces a picture of determination and concentration. The older man, with a rosy cheek and a twinkle in his eye, holds a long skating stick for balance, while the younger man, with a jolly laugh, extends an arm out for support. But the real star of the show is the playful dog, who joyfully bounds along on the icy surface, its tail wagging in excitement. The dog's joyful expression and its paws skimming the ice add an element of whimsy and fun to the scene. The snow falls gently around them, blanketing the landscape in a pristine white, while the trees and buildings in the background are dusted with snow, creating a picturesque winter wonderland. This delightful Christmas card, with its charming blend of humor and holiday cheer, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Ernest Griset's artwork and the magic of the Christmas season.
