EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare Christmas booklet entitled "A Merry Old Christmas To You" dating back to the late 19th century. The image depicts four nightmarish situations, cleverly blending horror and humor with a festive twist. Created by an unknown English School artist, this color lithograph captures the essence of Victorian-era storytelling. The booklet's dark yet whimsical illustrations transport us to a world where Christmas takes on an unexpected and thrilling dimension. Each scene is meticulously crafted, evoking both fascination and trepidation in equal measure. From mischievous elves wreaking havoc in Santa's workshop to snowmen coming alive with eerie expressions, this artwork challenges traditional notions of holiday cheer. Despite its macabre undertones, there is an undeniable charm to these nightmarish scenarios that adds a unique layer of intrigue. It serves as a reminder that even during the most joyous time of year, unexpected twists can lurk around every corner. Preserved within a private collection and brought to life through eDavid Pearson's expert photography skills, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the artistic mastery behind this forgotten gem. As we delve into its pages, we are transported back in time - experiencing both amusement and unease - while marveling at how our perception of Christmas has evolved over the years.
