EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming engraving titled "Come, stir the Christmas Pudding!", artist George Adolphus Storey captures a heartwarming domestic scene set in a bustling kitchen. The illustration, originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 9th, 1893, invites us to witness the festive preparations for a traditional Christmas feast. Amidst the warmth and cheer of the holiday season, we find ourselves transported back in time to an era where servants played an integral role in household affairs. In this particular image, we see them gathered around a large table adorned with ingredients and utensils necessary for creating the centerpiece of any Victorian Christmas celebration – the iconic Christmas pudding. The composition exudes joy and camaraderie as these dedicated domestic staff members engage in their culinary duties. Their faces reflect anticipation and merriment while they diligently stir the rich mixture that will soon become a delectable treat for all to enjoy. Storey's attention to detail is evident throughout; from the carefully rendered expressions on each servant's face to the intricate patterns adorning their attire. This engraving not only showcases his artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into historical traditions surrounding Christmas festivities. As we gaze upon this delightful print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of cherished moments spent with loved ones during this special time of year when families come together to create lasting memories over shared meals and age-old customs.
