EDITORS COMMENTS
Christmas in Servia -- Preparing the National D dish: This evocative photograph from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," volume 42, July to December 1890, captures the essence of a traditional Christmas celebration in Servia, a region in Greece. The image shows a family gathered in a rustic kitchen, dressed in their Victorian-era clothing, preparing the national dish for the festive occasion. At the heart of the scene, a man in a woolen coat and felt hat, with a thick mustache and a serious expression, expertly roasts a hog on an open fire. His wife, dressed in a long, flowing, traditional Servian dress adorned with intricate embroidery, assists him, skillfully turning the spit with a long wooden spoon. Two young boys, bundled up against the cold, watch intently, their curiosity piqued by the preparations. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a pig, its snout tied to a post, and a few chickens and ducks milling about in the background. The family's clothing, a mix of Victorian-era fashions and traditional Servian costumes, adds to the rich tapestry of the image, reflecting the blending of cultures and traditions. The warm glow of the fire, the aroma of roasting meat, and the joyous anticipation of the holiday season are all beautifully captured in this photograph, offering a glimpse into the lives of families in Servia during the late 19th century.
