EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving captures the essence of a winter scene in Saxony, Germany during the 19th century. Titled "Returning from the Christmas Fair, Saxony" this print showcases a picturesque village nestled amidst a snowy landscape. The English School artist beautifully depicts German dwellings adorned with festive decorations and warmly lit windows, creating an inviting atmosphere. As we gaze at this artwork, we can almost feel the crispness of the air and hear the faint sound of laughter and chatter from villagers returning home after enjoying their time at the Christmas fair. The snow-covered ground reflects their footprints as they make their way through narrow streets lined with charming houses. The image transports us to a bygone era when Christmas traditions were deeply rooted in German culture. It offers us a glimpse into how communities celebrated this joyous season in northern Germany, where Germanic customs thrived. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 29th, 1877. Preserved within a private collection, it serves as both an artistic treasure and historical document that allows us to appreciate European holiday traditions from centuries past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry for all to enjoy – reminding us of the enduring beauty found within cultural celebrations such as Christmas fairs across Europe.
