Jolly Old Christmas, 1844 - A Festive Celebration of Victorian Merriment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Jolly Old Christmas, 1844" takes us back to a bygone era filled with joyous festivities. Created by Smyth for the renowned Illustrated London News in the 19th century, this illustration accompanies a song composed by J. Augustine Wade. The scene depicts a group of merry British men celebrating the holiday season with great enthusiasm. In their hands, they hold wine glasses and bottles, symbolizing the conviviality that often accompanied Christmas gatherings during this time period. The table is adorned with delectable food including a plum pudding - an iconic dessert associated with traditional English Christmases. Father Christmas himself makes an appearance in this enchanting artwork, embodying the spirit of generosity and mirth that defines the holiday season. With his rosy cheeks and flowing white beard, he adds an air of magic to the scene. As we delve into this nostalgic portrayal of Victorian celebrations, it becomes evident how deeply rooted Christianity was in these festivities. The religious undertones are subtly conveyed through symbols such as sheet music depicting hymns and references to religion throughout. Through its intricate details and masterful engraving techniques, this print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into the cultural heritage surrounding Christmas traditions in Britain during the 19th century.
