EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print captures the essence of the holiday season in the 19th century. Titled "Old Year, New Year, Card" it depicts a heartwarming scene filled with celebration and joy. In the foreground, a man dressed in a long coat and top hat stands alongside a scruffy young boy wearing tattered clothes and an oversized hat. They are surrounded by newspapers and glasses, indicating their involvement in delivering news to the community. Despite their apparent poverty and homelessness, both figures exude happiness as they celebrate Christmas together. The boy holds up a festive card while clutching an umbrella, perhaps shielding them from winter's cold embrace. A scarf is wrapped around his neck for added warmth. The image beautifully portrays themes of resilience and hope amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder that even during times of hardship, people can find solace in coming together to rejoice in festivities. This artwork not only evokes nostalgia but also sheds light on societal issues such as child poverty and precariousness during this era. It invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure every child has access to basic necessities. Overall, this delightful print encapsulates the spirit of Christmas through its portrayal of unity, compassion, and the power of human connection despite adversity.
