Description
During the 1890s, Victorian Santas were depicted as tall and slender, often with a flowing beard that extended down to their chest. They wore long robes that were typically green or red, and carried a sack full of toys over their shoulder. Unlike modern depictions, Victorian Santas were less jovial and more reverent, often portrayed as wise and kind figures who brought hope and joy to children during the Christmas season.
Victorian Santas were also known for their elaborate decorations, which often included gold and silver trim, furs, and other luxurious materials. They were a popular subject in Christmas cards, and their image became synonymous with the traditions of the holiday season. Even today, the legacy of Victorian Santas can be seen in the way we celebrate Christmas, from the festive decorations to the gift-giving traditions that have endured for generations.
