EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming scene captured in a handcoloured engraving from 1817, we see a boy dressed in a dragoon uniform eagerly scrabbling for sweets under his father's legs. Meanwhile, a baby sits on their mother's lap, playing with a puppet and bringing joy to the family. On the left side of the image, a black servant boy is shown praying for a gift, highlighting the stark contrasts in society during that time. Despite their different backgrounds and circumstances, all the individuals in this picture share one thing in common - happy smiling faces on New Year's Day. It serves as a reminder that regardless of social status or wealth, moments of happiness and unity can be found among people from all walks of life. The image beautifully captures the essence of dependency and interconnectedness between individuals during special occasions like New Year's Day. It reminds us that half the world becomes dependent on each other during such times, emphasizing the importance of coming together as one community. This historical print not only showcases traditional family dynamics but also sheds light on societal norms and relationships during that era. The innocence and joy depicted on each person's face serve as a timeless reminder of our shared humanity and capacity for happiness amidst diversity.
