A Very Merry Christmas: An Exuberant Scene of Pulcinella and Pierrot Getting Drunk in the Mid-19th Century This delightful Christmas card print, hailing from the mid-19th century, showcases the merriment and joviality of the festive season through an amusing and colorful scene featuring the beloved characters of Pulcinella and Pierrot. Dressed in their traditional Commedia dell'Arte costumes, these two iconic figures are seen indulging in a lively drinking session, their faces flushed with cheer and their actions reflecting the spirit of the holiday. Pulcinella, the cunning and resourceful character, dons a red and yellow costume, complete with a conical hat and a long, pointed nose. He holds a bottle in one hand, his eyes sparkling with mischief and amusement. His companion, Pierrot, dressed in white with a black hat and a red rose on his chest, spills punch from a jug with an exaggerated motion, his expression one of light-heartedness and merriment. The table before them is adorned with colorful bottles and glasses, the remnants of their previous drinks, adding to the festive atmosphere. The scene is filled with a sense of joy and camaraderie, as these two beloved characters celebrate the holiday season in true Italian Commedia dell'Arte style. This charming Christmas card print, with its vivid colors and lively characters, offers a glimpse into the past and the traditions of the mid-19th century. It serves as a reminder that the essence of the holiday season remains the same, no matter the passing of time - a time for friends, family, and the sharing of good cheer.
