EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gravure print, titled "Old Father Christmas attended by a motley group under the direction of the Lord of Misrule, 1859" takes us back to a festive scene from the 19th century. The image showcases Old Father Christmas surrounded by a diverse and lively group of individuals, all under the guidance of the mischievous Lord of Misrule. The setting for this merry gathering is none other than The Crystal Palace in Sydenham, as indicated in the auction particulars for its sale in November 1911. This enchanting illustration captures the spirit and excitement that once filled this iconic venue during Christmastime. The motley crew surrounding Old Father Christmas represents an array of characters who have come together to celebrate joyously. Their costumes are vibrant and eccentric, reflecting their individual personalities while adding to the overall festive atmosphere. Underneath it all is a sense of controlled chaos orchestrated by the Lord of Misrule. With his mischievous grin and commanding presence, he ensures that everyone revels in merriment without restraint or inhibition. This historic engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era celebrations at The Crystal Palace—a time when traditions like these brought communities together with laughter and cheer. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, there will always be room for whimsy and celebration during this magical season.
