EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage Christmas booklet, entitled "Our Goose a Christmas Legend" captures the essence of holiday humor and whimsy. The beautifully illustrated print showcases a delectable roasted goose on a serving tray, surrounded by five adorable goslings. However, what makes this scene truly captivating is the sheer horror expressed by the goslings as they gaze upon their cooked relative. Published in London by Goodall around 1880, this color lithograph perfectly encapsulates the festive spirit of Victorian England. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, it transports us back to a time when storytelling was an essential part of Christmas celebrations. The image features not only geese but also bullrushes and a serene pond in the background, adding depth and context to the narrative. It's evident that this delightful booklet aimed to bring joy and laughter during Christmastime with its clever blend of greeting card sentimentality and comic relief. Preserved in private collection over generations, this print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate English School's artistic talent from the 19th century. As we admire this timeless piece, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst holiday feasts and merriment, there is always room for lightheartedness and laughter.
