Boar Boars Decorating Holly Inns Ladder Morning Pubs Signboard
EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Christmas Morning: Decorating the Signboard, Late 19th Century As the first light of dawn breaks through the early morning mist, a couple bundled up against the cold braces themselves against the icy gusts of wind, preparing to adorn the signboard of their cozy pub. Nestled in a quaint, snow-covered village, the scene exudes the idyllic charm of a traditional Christmas morning. The man, wearing a thick, woolen coat and a knitted cap, climbs up the rickety ladder with a bucket of paint in hand. His wife, wrapped in a fur shawl, passes him holly and ivy branches to be affixed to the signboard. The pub sign, featuring a boar's head, gleams in the morning sun as the couple meticulously decorates it for the festive season. The quaint, cobblestone street, lined with snow-capped buildings and festooned with twinkling fairy lights, adds to the magical atmosphere. The warm, inviting glow of the pub's windows beckons passersby, promising a respite from the winter chill. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where the spirit of Christmas was celebrated with heartfelt traditions and the joy of community. The decorating of the signboard is a cherished ritual, symbolizing the start of the festive season and the warmth and hospitality that await within the cozy confines of the pub.
