Two girls in church on Christmas morning
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This charming chromolitho print captures a heartwarming scene of two young girls attending church on Christmas morning. The artwork, created by Edith S. Berkeley in the late 19th century, showcases the innocence and beauty of childhood during this festive season. The image depicts the girls seated together in a stone church adorned with holly and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Their tired expressions suggest that they may have woken up early to attend the special service. Dressed in fur coats and mufflers, they seem to be seeking warmth from the chilly winter air. As one girl reads from a book, perhaps an inspirational passage or hymn lyrics, her companion appears to be drifting off to sleep, overcome by both fatigue and the peaceful atmosphere of the church. This juxtaposition between wakefulness and slumber adds depth to their portrayal as real children experiencing this significant day. The lithograph's vibrant colors bring life to every detail – from the intricate architecture of the monument surrounding them to their own clothing choices. It is evident that great care was taken in capturing not only their physical appearance but also their emotions and surroundings. This delightful illustration originally appeared in Chatterbox Magazine's Christmas Box edition in 1888, showcasing its historical significance as well as its artistic value. It serves as a reminder of cherished traditions celebrated throughout generations while highlighting the universal themes of joy, faith, and family during Christmastime.
