Carol-singing in Yorkshire - drawn by John Gilbert, 1864. Creator: Mason Jackson
Carol-singing in Yorkshire - drawn by John Gilbert, 1864. In every corner of our island this "sort of holy song, " though set to secular music, is still sung...a company of rustic children is here with the song of joy, some of them bearing evergreens...as emblems of their mission. Their loud notes, echoing through the snowy stillness of the landscape, have called to the window the well-to-do master of the house, who, "with spectacles on nose, " eyes the young throng with the kindly approbation of age, which is well contrasted with the childish wonder of the little fellow peering out of the side window. The leader of the choir bears the "Christmas-tree"...his two vicegerents, with hollied sticks, are proportionally earnest. The little fellow in somebody else's jacket is evidently a learner. The girls are equally attentive. The variety of the expression of the several singers is admirable. The dog seems about to bark in chorus...The little choir have evidently trudged through the snow on their mission, which the lively satisfaction of the folk at the window promises to recompense'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful print captures the timeless tradition of carol-singing in Yorkshire, as depicted by John Gilbert in 1864. The scene is filled with rustic charm and festive spirit, as a group of children joyfully sing their "sort of holy song" accompanied by evergreens symbolizing their mission.
The well-to-do master of the house looks on from his window with kindly approbation, contrasting with the wide-eyed wonder of a little boy peering out from the side. The leader of the choir proudly carries a Christmas tree while his companions brandish hollied sticks with earnestness.
Each singer's expression is unique and full of character, adding to the lively atmosphere captured in this moment. Even the dog seems ready to join in on the chorus! It's clear that these young carolers have braved snowy conditions to spread holiday cheer, and their efforts are sure to be rewarded by the warm reception they receive.
This heartwarming image serves as a reminder of the enduring traditions that bring communities together during the festive season. Mason Jackson has expertly captured this scene for posterity, allowing us to glimpse into a past where simple joys like carol-singing could brighten even the coldest winter day.
