EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Christmas Pictures (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of a joyous Christmas celebration. The image showcases a children's Christmas party in full swing, with youngsters engrossed in various parlour games and festivities. The enchanting scene depicts a group of children gathered around a table, eagerly participating in the popular Victorian game known as snap dragon. Their faces are filled with excitement and anticipation as they reach into a bowl of flaming raisins, trying to pluck them out without getting burned. This traditional holiday activity was believed to bring good luck for the coming year. The room is adorned with festive decorations, including garlands and wreaths hanging from the walls. Delightful Christmas pictures adorn every corner, adding an extra touch of cheerfulness to the atmosphere. The children's laughter fills the air as they engage in friendly competition and create lasting memories together. This nostalgic engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on December 25th, 1847 - truly capturing the spirit of Christmas during that era. Preserved within this private collection and made available by Bridgeman Images, it serves as a timeless reminder of how celebrations have evolved over time while still cherishing traditions that bring families closer during this special season.
