Victorian Christmas Greeting Card with Children & Fireplace

An intimate domestic scene unfolds with two curly-haired cherubs crouched by an open fireplace, rendered in warm chromolithograph tones—but zoom in and the boy in dark formal clothing is reaching his hand toward the flames like he's personally trying to shake hands with arson, while the girl beside him in a white dress with a large pink bow raises her hands to her cheeks in an expression of pure Victorian theatrical alarm. The fireplace tools are laid casually on the floor, because apparently fire safety was just a fun suggestion in 1890. Holly and berries float cheerfully in the upper corner, completely unbothered by the fact that this card's central message is essentially two children staring into an open fire together, which the artist has somehow labeled 'A Merry Christmas to You' in gold script, as if daring you to argue.
