EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "Here it is Christmas and they began saying goodbye in August" captures a poignant moment that evokes both love and departure. Created by Charles Dana Gibson, this artwork portrays an attractive young widow bidding farewell to her loved ones amidst the snow-covered landscape. The image beautifully depicts the oddity of celebrating Christmas while facing separation. Intriguingly, the title suggests that farewells started as early as August, emphasizing the depth of devotion between these individuals. The woman's hands gently hold onto two snowmen, symbolizing her connection with those she must leave behind. As she stands in front of them, one can sense a mix of sadness and determination on her face. Gibson's engraving skillfully conveys the emotional weight carried by this widow during such a festive season. The contrast between joyous celebrations and impending departure creates an intriguing tension within the artwork. This piece was originally created for A Widow and Her Friends publication in 1901. This lithograph has been digitally cleaned to restore its original beauty for contemporary viewers to appreciate fully. It is part of a private collection but made available through Look and Learn agency under American copyright laws.
