EDITORS COMMENTS
The Christmas-Box (engraving) captures the heartwarming spirit of the holiday season in a beautifully detailed print. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this enchanting artwork depicts a scene of servants and nobility coming together to celebrate Christmas with acts of charity. In this illustration for the Illustrated Times, dated 21 December 1861, we witness the tradition of giving and receiving 'Christmas boxes' - small gifts or gratuities exchanged between employers and their staff during Victorian times. The image showcases a moment where generosity bridges social divides as members of high society graciously distribute presents to their devoted servants. The intricate details within this print bring every character to life, capturing their expressions filled with joy and gratitude. It serves as a poignant reminder that kindness knows no boundaries, transcending class distinctions during such festive occasions. This timeless piece from Bridgeman Images evokes nostalgia for simpler times when compassion was at the forefront of holiday celebrations. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, it reminds us all to embrace the true meaning of Christmas – spreading love and goodwill towards others. Whether displayed in your home or office space, 'The Christmas-Box (engraving)' is sure to evoke warm sentiments while serving as a visual reminder that acts of charity can truly make a difference in our world.
