Christmas hampers dispatched by rail from London and other big town stores were unreturnable and often given to the children to play with. This was often the result - labelled turkey, mince pies, plum pudding, etc., a family, surrounded by the puddings and odd toys are pictured here. The inscription reads, "'What jolly fun the boys all said, Here's Mary standing on her head'. A Romping Christmas".
