EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian Christmas card captures the essence of holiday cheer and lightheartedness. The chromolitho print, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a delightful scene filled with humor and whimsy. In the image, we see a group of fashionable women cyclists leisurely riding their bicycles through the streets. Dressed in elegant petticoats and stylish hats, they exude both grace and confidence as they navigate their way through town. Their legs are prominently displayed, adding a touch of playfulness to the composition. The caption on this festive card reads: "For all dull care a speedy care, This Season may you find, And, in your Sportive Ventures, your Turn-Over to your mind! Words by Bertram Hope". These words perfectly encapsulate the sentiment behind this joyful illustration - encouraging recipients to leave their worries behind during this special season and embrace joyous activities that bring happiness to their hearts. This Victorian Christmas card not only reflects the fashion trends of its time but also highlights how cycling was becoming increasingly popular as a mode of transportation and leisure activity for women during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst busy city life, there is always room for laughter and enjoyment. Overall, this delightful print from Bridgeman Images captures the spirit of Christmas past while celebrating female empowerment and timeless holiday merriment.
