EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting New Year card from the late 1890s, featuring five jovial figures dressed in authentic medieval costumes. The vibrant colors and intricate details of their garments transport us to a bygone era, as the red, yellow, and green hues stand out against the wintry backdrop of snow and cold weather. In the heart of the scene, a little boy, his face flushed with excitement, has successfully shot down a thin, agile bird with his crossbow and arrow. The other children, a mix of boys and girls, gather around in awe, their expressions filled with wonder and delight. One girl, her curls peeking out from under her hat, plays a musical instrument, while another boy pipes a merry tune. The adults in the scene, a cook and a musician, add to the festive atmosphere with their warm presence. The cook, dressed in a long apron and holding a wooden spoon, prepares a hearty meal, while the musician, with a merrily expressive face, strums a lute. The gate in the background, adorned with holly and other festive decorations, symbolizes the arrival of the New Year and the promise of new beginnings. The footprints in the snow lead us deeper into this magical world, inviting us to join in the celebration and embrace the rich heritage and history of the Middle Ages.
