EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming engraving from 1876, we are transported back in time to witness a cherished family tradition. The scene depicts a cozy living room where a family gathers around the fireplace on Christmas day. As they burn their Christmas greens, filling the air with a delightful aroma, they engage in another festive activity - making toast. The image captures the essence of togetherness and joy as each member of the family is involved in this simple yet meaningful ritual. A father stands proudly by the fire, holding his walking stick while overseeing the proceedings. The mother tends to her duties diligently, ensuring that everyone's toast is perfectly golden brown. Two young girls eagerly participate in this age-old tradition, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. Even their loyal canine companions join in on the festivities, wagging their tails with delight. This enchanting engraving not only showcases an intimate moment shared within a loving household but also serves as a reminder of simpler times when families found solace and happiness in each other's company during special occasions like Christmas. Preserved through time and now available as a print, this artwork invites us to reflect upon our own traditions and appreciate those moments that bring us closer together as families.
