Do You Know: Who introduced Christmas trees? (colour litho)
8668103 Do You Know: Who introduced Christmas trees? (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Who introduced Christmas trees? Christmas trees were introduced into Britain by the Prince Consort in 1840. Although the custom was new to Victorian England, it had been familiar in Germany for nearly 200 years, and the giving of presents at Christmas may be traced back to pagan Roman times, when gifts changed hands on 1 January. The keeping of Christmas was forbidden under Oliver Cromwell, and 25 December was ordered to be observed as a market day; the eating of plum pudding and mince pies being denounced as heathen practices. At the Restoration the Church of England revived the ancient Christian festival. Illustration for one of a set of 50 "Do You Know?" cigarette cards issued by Carreras in 1939.); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph print titled "Do You Know: Who introduced Christmas trees?" by the English School captures a historical moment in British holiday traditions. In 1840, Prince Consort introduced Christmas trees to Britain, a custom that had been popular in Germany for nearly two centuries. The Victorian era saw the revival of ancient Christian festivals like Christmas, which had been forbidden under Oliver Cromwell's rule.
The image depicts a festive scene with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree surrounded by presents, symbolizing the joy and spirit of the holiday season. The tradition of giving gifts at Christmas can be traced back to pagan Roman times when exchanges were made on January 1st.
This educational illustration is part of a set of 50 "Do You Know?" cigarette cards issued by Carreras in 1939, providing interesting facts and knowledge about various topics. It serves as a reminder of how cultural practices and customs evolve over time, reflecting the rich history and heritage of different societies.
Through this artwork, viewers are transported back to a time when Christmas trees were still new to England but quickly became an integral part of holiday celebrations. It highlights the importance of understanding our past to appreciate the traditions that shape our present-day festivities.
