EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting Victorian New Year card, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where a group of children gather around the fountain of happiness. The scene is filled with joy and innocence as they eagerly drink from the sparkling waters, symbolizing their hopes for a prosperous year ahead. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring life to each character in the image. A young boy stands tall, his hat tipped slightly to one side, while holding a cane with confidence. Beside him, two girls wearing delicate parasols and carrying bouquets of flowers add a touch of elegance to the composition. The details in this print capture our attention - from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the mischievous smiles on their faces. It is evident that these children are relishing in this moment together, cherishing their friendship and embracing the spirit of celebration. This New Year card serves as a reminder that despite being created over a century ago, its message remains timeless. It encourages us all to find happiness in simple pleasures and cherish those dear to us during moments of unity and merriment. As we admire this beautiful piece from an English School artist's collection today, let it inspire us to approach each new year with optimism and gratitude for life's blessings – just as these Victorian children did at their beloved fountain of happiness.
