EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting engraving, titled "Waiting for Santa Claus" we are transported back to the 19th century, where children eagerly anticipate the arrival of the jolly old man himself. The print captures a tender moment as two young girls, dressed in their cozy nightwear, sit by a window adorned with festive decorations. Their eyes sparkle with excitement as they gaze out into the starlit sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa's sleigh. Their faces reflect innocence and wonderment, embodying the pure joy that only comes during this magical time of year. The artist Marcella M. Walker skillfully brings this scene to life through intricate details and delicate lines.

It serves as a reminder that no matter how much time passes or how our traditions evolve, there will always be something special about waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. As we admire this beautiful piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it transports us back to our own childhood memories of eagerly awaiting Santa's arrival. It reminds us that even amidst all the hustle and bustle of modern life, there is still room
