EDITORS COMMENTS
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year: A Jolly Gentleman Encourages Revelry (1845) This delightful image, captured in the heart of the 19th century, invites us to embrace the spirit of the festive season with open arms. The jolly gentleman, dressed in a festive red waistcoat and holding a stein of beer in one hand and a bottle in the other, exudes an infectious air of merriment. His rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes suggest that he has already indulged in the holiday cheer, and his hearty laugh echoes through the room. The scene is set in a cozy, dimly lit tavern, where the warm glow of the fireplace casts a comforting glow over the page. The walls are adorned with holly and ivy, adding to the festive atmosphere. A collection of empty beer bottles and glasses litter the table, evidence of the merriment that has already taken place. The gentleman's jovial demeanor and encouraging expression serve as a reminder that the holiday season is a time for enjoying the company of loved ones, indulging in delicious food and drink, and making cherished memories. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to experience the joy and camaraderie of a bygone era. This evocative print, dated 1845, is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of taking time to celebrate the things that bring us joy. So, let us follow the lead of this jolly gentleman and raise a glass to the magic of Christmas and the promise of a Happy New Year.
