EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography from the late 19th century captures an old custom celebrated in the Alsace region: the Christmas bush. The artwork, created by an unknown artist, showcases a traditional fir tree adorned with homemade decorations and surrounded by a large family gathered around a cozy fireplace. The image exudes warmth and nostalgia as it depicts a cherished French tradition passed down through generations. The Christmas bush symbolizes regionalism and cultural heritage, representing the unique customs of Alsace. Intricate details bring this scene to life - from the antler chandelier hanging above to the carefully wrapped gifts placed beneath the tree. It is evident that this festive gathering holds great significance for these families, who come together to celebrate love, joy, and unity during this special time of year. The artist's skillful use of chromolithography adds depth and vibrancy to every element in the composition. Each color choice enhances our understanding of this rich holiday tradition while also highlighting its botanical origins. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand how Christmas was celebrated in Alsace during the late 19th century. This print serves as both a visual delight and a historical testament to the enduring power of family traditions that continue to shape our celebrations today.
