In the late 19th century, families found solace and warmth in the comfort of their homes, gathering around a large stove. The crackling fire provided not only heat but also a cozy ambiance that brought loved ones together. As depicted in the chromolitho artwork, this scene captures a moment of relaxation and togetherness. Meanwhile, in Bethlehem, Palestine during the same era, life unfolded at a slower pace. From the vantage point of the south-western view captured by El Mundo Ilustrado publication circa 1880, one can imagine the tranquility that enveloped this ancient city. The bustling streets were absent from sight as time seemed to stand still. Artists like W Collins and Ed Shulz portrayed happiness through their works during this period. "Happy King" by W Collins showcases an exuberant monarch who radiates joy despite his regal responsibilities. Similarly, "Childhood Happy Dreams" by Ed Shulz transports us back to innocent days filled with boundless imagination. The late 19th century was also marked by artistic expression across various mediums. Landseer Alexander's masterpiece "Diogenes" portrays an intriguing character lost deep in thought while A Von Kattowitz's "Artful Sportsman" captures both elegance and skill on canvas. Waldemar Fuchs' European town painting takes us on a visual journey through Germany and Italy during this time period. It allows us to appreciate architectural marvels amidst picturesque landscapes. A Dieffenbach's artwork titled "Little Sweet-Tooth" reminds us of childhood delights as we witness a young girl indulging her taste buds with sugary treats—a timeless image that evokes nostalgia for simpler pleasures. Sports and leisure activities were also prevalent during this era; W Zimmer's collotype print titled "Skittle Alley" invites viewers into an old-fashioned bowling alley where friends gather for friendly competition.
