EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian-era holiday card featuring a playful bulldog casting an intriguing shadow on a New Year's greeting. Dressed in a festive collar, the bulldog sits calmly on the floor, its massive head and broad shoulders silhouetted against the card's white background. The shadow it casts, however, tells a different story. With a twist of imagination, the shadow morphs into the profile of a man with a pipe clenched between his teeth. The intricate detail of the bulldog's wrinkled skin and the pipe's curved stem are captured beautifully in this print. The verse on the card reads, "May the New Year bring you happiness, good health, and prosperity. May your joys be as constant as the sun and your troubles as few as the stars." This delightful card, circa 1890s, is a testament to the whimsy and creativity of Victorian-era holiday cards, and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
