One of our favourite things in the Tower Project is finding pictures to share on this blog. The tower collections have great illustrations, some beautiful, some funny, some just weird! And this year two of our favourite pictures are available as part of a new selection of Christmas cards available from the University Library entrance hall, during library opening hours.
As well as the wonderful ‘Judy magazine’ Christmas pudding illustration (UL classmark 1895.9.91) and the picture of a Canadian train stuck in snow, taken from the Train scrap book (UL classmark 1906.12.1) there are two beautiful illustrations taken from UL manuscripts and finally ‘Waiting for crumbs’ (UL classmark Waddleton.b.1.438)

Struggling to find the merriment in the scary Christmas pudding! What were they thinking?!
Hmmm…the pudding was my favourite one…!
That is definitely the weirdest Christmas card I have ever seen, and I include the ones produced by the National Secular Society!
Weird and wonderful in a kinda nightmarish way.
I too would be pretty terrified if I awoke on Christmas morning to find pudding shouting at me.
My vote goes for cute birds waiting for crumbs

I can think of any number of friends for whom that gem of a pudding card would be entirely appropriate–what does that say about me–or my friends?
