EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful holiday scene from the late Victorian era, this charming image captures the playful camaraderie between monkeys and dogs in "The Swell Sportsman" Christmas card from the 1890s. The card features a group of monkeys and dogs gathered at the foot of a grand staircase, each animal dressed in human attire and eagerly awaiting their turn to carry the rifle or fetch the gun for their aristocratic masters. The monkeys, dressed in red jackets and green trousers, are shown in various poses, some holding rifles with practiced ease, while others act as eager servants, ready to hand their masters their weapons. The dogs, dressed in collars and leashes, sit patiently by their monkey companions, their tails wagging in anticipation of the hunt. The upper-class theme of the card is further emphasized by the grandeur of the staircase and the ornate details of the room's decor. The use of anthropomorphism and humor adds to the whimsical charm of the scene, making this card a beloved holiday tradition for generations. The Swell Sportsman Christmas card is a testament to the enduring appeal of animals in holiday celebrations and the playful spirit of the late Victorian era. With its charming depiction of monkeys and dogs working together in the spirit of the hunt, this card continues to bring joy and laughter to families during the holiday season.
