EDITORS COMMENTS
Christmas Eve at Christ's Hospital in the City of London, as depicted in a beautiful engraving by Sir John Gilbert in 1857, published in the Illustrated London News. The scene outside the Blue Coat School in Newgate Street is filled with excitement and joy as children gather around a festively decorated archway. The arch, adorned with holly and ivy, frames the entrance to the private school, which was founded in 1552 to provide education for children in need. In this wintery scene, boys of all ages, bundled up against the cold, hold bottles of liquor and raise them in a toast to the holiday season. A man sells bottles from a cart nearby, while another man, perhaps a schoolmaster, looks on approvingly. The snow is beginning to fall, adding to the magical atmosphere of the night. The architecture of the buildings surrounding the scene is beautifully rendered, with intricate details and ornate features. The archway, with its elegant curves and intricate carvings, is a standout architectural feature. Lanterns and other forms of lighting illuminate the scene, casting a warm glow over the bustling street. The print captures the spirit of Christmas Eve in 19th century Britain, with its blend of tradition, religion, and community. The common holly and ivy, symbols of the winter solstice and the enduring cycle of life, add to the sense of celebration and renewal. This engraving is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the enduring beauty and wonder of the holiday season.
