EDITORS COMMENTS
By the Christmas Fire, a captivating illustration from The Bayonet-Poker by Samuel McChord Crothers, takes us back to a nostalgic era. In this lithograph masterpiece by Bassett Comstock and Frances Bassett, we are transported to a cozy fireside scene filled with warmth and charm. An armchair sits prominently in the foreground, where an old man finds solace on this festive occasion. With his weathered face reflecting wisdom and experience, he gazes into the crackling flames that dance before him. The art nouveau style adds an exquisite touch of elegance to the overall composition. The presence of a bayonet-poker hints at tales untold - perhaps remnants of battles fought or adventures embarked upon in years past. This unexpected combination evokes curiosity and intrigue as we ponder its significance within this tranquil setting. Seated comfortably amidst monochrome surroundings, our elderly protagonist stokes the fire with purposeful intent. His actions symbolize not only physical warmth but also kindle memories and emotions associated with Christmases gone by. The carefully crafted engravings capture every detail of the armchairs and furnishings surrounding our central figure. Each stroke brings life to this timeless image, inviting us to immerse ourselves in its beauty. This enchanting print from Bridgeman Images is a testament to both artistic skill and storytelling prowess. It serves as a reminder that even during these modern times, there is still magic found in simple moments spent by the Christmas fire.
