EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the whimsical world of Victorian Christmas cards with this charming print featuring three mischievous goblins armed with laughing gas. Designed by Robert Dudley in the 1880s, this triangular card is a delightful mix of fantasy and humor.
The goblins, with their pointed hats and peacock feather accents, are depicted wheeling around on what appears to be a steam-powered contraption. Their expressions are full of mischief and merriment as they spread joy (and perhaps a little chaos) during the holiday season.
In the background, a book titled "Chemistry" hints at the magical nature of their antics, while a cricket perched on one of the wheels adds an extra touch of whimsy. The intricate details in this design showcase Dudley's skill as an artist and his ability to create enchanting scenes that capture the imagination.
Whether you're drawn to the fairy-tale quality of Victorian imagery or simply appreciate a good laugh, this Christmas card is sure to bring joy and delight to anyone who receives it. So why not add a touch of vintage charm to your holiday greetings with these jolly goblins spreading laughter wherever they go?
