EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the essence of a Victorian Christmas, with its assortment of festive scenes beautifully depicted in vibrant colors. The illustrations, initialled by W R, were published in a Christmas Supplement to The Graphic on 28 November 1874. In this delightful composition, we see Father Christmas surrounded by children eagerly opening their presents and exchanging cards filled with best wishes for the season. A young girl sits beside her stocking overflowing with gifts, while a mischievous boy dances joyfully nearby. These scenes evoke the innocence and wonder of childhood during this magical time of year. The Victorian traditions are vividly portrayed through various elements: a greedy policeman indulging in turkey and pudding; dancers gracefully moving to lively music; girls enjoying a meal together; and even an English clown entertaining everyone with his antics. The print also includes references to health and medicine, symbolized by Fortuna (the Roman goddess of luck) holding pills and Asklepios (the Greek god of healing) overseeing the festivities. With its rich detail and historical significance, this image offers us a glimpse into the cultural heritage of 19th-century Europe. It reflects not only Germanic influences but also highlights how Christmas was celebrated across different regions during that era. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images is sure to evoke nostalgia for simpler times while reminding us of the enduring magic that surrounds the holiday season.
