EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and humorous Christmas card featuring three monkeys engaged in merriment around a barrel of wine. Dressed in top hats and holding glasses, these monkeys exude a jovial and carefree spirit, embodying the playful and lighthearted essence of the holiday season. The intricately designed cutout card adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The monkeys, with their expressive faces and human-like features, are a delightful departure from the more traditional Christmas card motifs of the time. The red accents of the barrel and the monkeys' hats add a pop of color against the muted background, making this card a true standout. The three monkeys, a popular comic motif during the Victorian era, represent the proverb "See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil." However, in this festive context, they seem to be letting their guard down and indulging in the joys of the season. The barrel of wine, a symbol of celebration and merriment, adds to the overall sense of fun and mischief. This card, with its intricate design and playful subject matter, is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the Victorian Christmas card tradition. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the lighter side of the holiday season and to embrace the spirit of joy and merriment that it brings.
