Victorian Christmas Card Poem About 2 Rabbits & a Snail
|
Victorian Christmas cards often have images of spring flowers, but at first glance this card with 2 white rabbits, a snail and flowers seemed completely inappropriate for the season. The poem printed on the back, however, explains it! The two rabbits meet a snail and discuss the advantage of carrying one's house on one's back. One decides that he wouldn't like it because:
For then, you see, when Christmas came,
I could not entertain my friends!
And every man of social habit
Will hold opinion with the rabbit!
Measures 5 1/8 by 4 1/8 inches.Upper right corner is creased and lower left corner held in place on the back by some white tape.
