EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful scene from the past: Children's Christmas Party, 1879. This charming photograph captures the excitement and joy of a group of children as they make their way downstairs for a Christmas costume party. Dressed in their finest Victorian attire, the children are a picture of innocence and merriment. The girls wear elegant dresses adorned with lace and ribbons, while the boys don suits and bow ties. Their faces are filled with anticipation and wonder, as they prepare to join in the festivities of the holiday season. The custom of hosting Christmas parties for children was a popular one during the Victorian era. These parties provided an opportunity for children to come together and celebrate the joy of the season, often with games, treats, and the giving and receiving of gifts. The children in this photograph appear to be on the cusp of such an adventure, their eyes fixed on the staircase that leads them to the party below. The decorative details of the photograph add to the sense of holiday cheer. The ornate fireplace, the garlands of holly and ivy, and the twinkling candles all contribute to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the scene. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring traditions and customs of the Christmas season, and the simple joy that can be found in the laughter and camaraderie of children at play.
