Harry B. Neilson was a prolific English book and magazine illustrator who was known for his
animal and hunting scenes. He also designed many postcards including this popular series of
birds enjoying the Christmas holidays. The first two are titled “Returning Home from
Christmas Market” and “Hard Times and Great Expectations!,” the latter no doubt referring
to Charles Dickens as the birds gaze longingly at the Christmas pudding in the window.The
third was cut out and mounted on yellow card.
