EDITORS COMMENTS
This image presents the earliest authenticated Christmas Tree in Strasbourg, Germany, as documented by a merchant named Forbes in the year 1605. At the time, the residents of this enchanting city adorned their parlors with real fir trees, transforming them into magnificent displays of holiday cheer. Decorations consisted of paper cut-outs, apples, wafers, sweets, and other delightful treats. The trees were not merely private indulgences; they were public spectacles, drawing the admiration of passers-by, including these two young children. Their wide-eyed gazes are fixed on the tree, their small hands reaching out to touch the twinkling decorations. This charming scene, set against the backdrop of a snowy winter's day, offers a glimpse into the rich history and legend of the Christmas Tree tradition in Germany during the 17th century. The couple in the background, dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, adds to the vividness of this historical moment. This image, with its warm colors and intricate details, is a testament to the enduring allure of Christmas traditions and customs.
