EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era with this charming and intriguing Christmas card image from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library. The black background sets the stage for a delightful holiday scene, as a plate adorned with a succulent lobster, boiled eggs, and lettuce takes center stage. The lobster, a luxurious and coveted delicacy during this time period, is proudly displayed on its plate, its vibrant red shell glistening in the dim light. Boiled eggs, a common food item during the Victorian era, are artfully arranged next to the lobster, their white, speckled shells contrasting beautifully with the rich red of the lobster and the deep green of the lettuce leaves. The lettuce, with its delicate, curled edges, adds a touch of freshness and elegance to the dish. The Christmas card, circa 1890s, exudes an air of sophistication and abundance, a reflection of the holiday season's traditions and indulgences. The use of celery, though not visible in the image, is suggested by the green leaves, adding an additional layer of flavor and texture to the dish. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Christmas cards were handcrafted works of art, and the exchange of such cards was a cherished holiday tradition. The lobster, boiled eggs, and lettuce on this card serve not only as a visual feast for the eyes but also as a reminder of the rich history and culture of the holiday season.
