VICTORIAN ERA ART CLASSIC POSTCARDS SET OF 10 A set of ten postcards, each with different weird and, let's say, unique Christmas art from the Victorian era! Satin finish for a vivid colour reproduction on the front, reverse can be written on with all types of instruments. - 10 different designs - classic postcard back, left blank for your text - traditional A6 size (105 x 148m / 4.1" x 5.8") 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. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ |
