EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the holiday sights and doings in London during the early 20th century. Taken by an American photographer, it showcases a candid snapshot of life in the bustling city. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for the book "Around the World with a Camera" published in 1910. In this scene, we see various elements that define Christmas festivities in London at that time. Children from the London Children's Hospital are depicted on Christmas Day, eagerly receiving gifts and enjoying club activities. A bakery can be seen nearby, tempting passersby with delicious treats like puddings and cakes. The streets are adorned with decorations, including venders selling crackers to add excitement to holiday celebrations. Notably, there is also an impersonator dressed as Father Christmas entertaining onlookers near Ludgate Hill. In another corner of this lively street scene stands a helter-skelter slide where children joyfully glide down. The craftsmanship of British artisans is highlighted through glimpses of craftsmen and craftswomen showcasing their handywork outside shops along High Holborn Street. This photo provides a fascinating glimpse into historical London during Christmastime, capturing both its festive spirit and cultural traditions. Overall, this photograph offers us a window into early 20th-century London's holiday atmosphere while celebrating British culture amidst European influences from Turkey and Middle Eastern regions.
