EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Scottish Christmas card from the 19th century captures the festive spirit of a bygone era. The chromolitho print showcases a humorous scene, featuring a group of cyclists dressed in traditional Scottish attire. With their tartan kilts, tam o shanter hats, and bicycles adorned with holiday decorations, they exude both style and merriment. The caption on the card reads: "A Merry Christmas an muckle speed tae you in the New Year" which translates to "Wishing you a Merry Christmas and much success in the New Year". This sentiment reflects the Victorian Era's emphasis on spreading joy and good fortune during the holiday season. The illustration is filled with delightful details that evoke nostalgia for simpler times. From the snowy winter landscape to the cheerful expressions on each cyclist's face, it transports us back to a time when cycling was not only a means of transportation but also a source of leisurely enjoyment. This whimsical image challenges stereotypes by showcasing men and women participating equally in this popular sport. It reminds us that even in history, there were individuals breaking gender norms and engaging in activities traditionally associated with one gender or another. Overall, this Scottish Christmas card serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage while celebrating both tradition and progress.
