EDITORS COMMENTS
Christmas! Christmas! Illustration for Le Rire (colour litho) captures the essence of holiday anticipation and disappointment in a humorous and satirical manner. Created by Leonce Burret in 1906, this comic artwork showcases the artist's talent for caricatures and amusing storytelling. In this scene, we find ourselves by a cozy fireside on Christmas Eve. A young boy, eagerly dressed in his best attire, walks towards midnight mass with high hopes of receiving presents from Santa Claus. However, as he approaches the fireplace to warm himself up before leaving, he discovers an empty shoe instead of the desired gifts. The illustration cleverly combines elements of French culture and Christian traditions with a touch of wit. The snowy backdrop adds to the winter ambiance while soldiers stand guard nearby, hinting at historical context or social commentary within the satire. Burret's satirical drawing not only pokes fun at childhood expectations during Christmastime but also provides insight into societal norms and religious practices prevalent during that era. Through its playful yet scathing approach, this artwork offers a glimpse into early 20th-century France and its cultural nuances. This print from Bridgeman Images is sure to evoke laughter and nostalgia while reminding us that even amidst disappointment, there is still joy to be found in the spirit of Christmas.
