Perfect for sending an unusual Christmas greeting, slipping into a gift, collecting, framing or displaying as part of your festive decorations. ♥

Christmas in Victorian times was apparently a rather peculiar affair. Dancing vegetables, eccentric animals, unexpected dinner guests and creatures behaving in ways that defy all reasonable explanation — these wonderfully strange illustrations offer a glimpse into the more surreal side of nineteenth-century festive celebrations.
This collection brings together ten different vintage Victorian Christmas illustrations, each reproduced as a postcard, celebrating the wonderfully imaginative, mischievous and occasionally downright baffling humour of the era.
Among the curious characters you'll encounter are a distinguished parsnip gentleman, an extravagantly dressed cat, a festive polar bear, a rather sociable (or sinister?) goat, courting frogs and ducks, and a Christmas dinner that appears to have developed a life of its own.

Printed in UK with eco-inks and recycled paper.
