EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique Christmas booklet from the late 19th century that unfolds into the shape of a crucifix. The artwork showcases two young girls, their innocent faces filled with joy as they hold a cat delicately sipping milk from a saucer. Surrounding them are an array of exquisite flowers including roses, lilies, forget-me-nots, and snowdrops. The vibrant colors brought to life through lithography highlight the intricate details of this enchanting scene. The composition beautifully blends religious symbolism with elements of childhood innocence and nature's beauty. Created by an English School artist in approximately 1880, this privately owned piece evokes nostalgia for simpler times and traditional holiday customs. It serves as a reminder of the importance of faith during the festive season while also celebrating the joys found in companionship and nature. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but be transported back to Victorian-era Christmases where such delicate booklets were cherished treasures. This particular artwork is sure to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evoke feelings of warmth and wonderment. Through eDavid Pearson's lens, Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for all to appreciate – reminding us that even within art lies stories waiting to be discovered anew each time it is admired.
