EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the enchanting era of the 19th century. A desiccated Victorian parson is depicted in his traditional attire, walking with purpose towards the grand church where he will deliver a Christmas sermon that promises to uplift and inspire. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as it captures not only the essence of a bygone time but also Washington Irving's fond recollections of English Christmas traditions. The parson's holly-trimmed pulpit stands ready, adorned with festive greenery that symbolizes hope and renewal during this joyous season. As we gaze upon this monochrome sketch, we can almost hear the sound of carolers singing in harmony outside the church walls. We imagine families bundled up against the winter chill, eagerly making their way through snow-covered streets to attend this momentous occasion. This artwork reminds us of simpler times when celebrations were steeped in tradition and community spirit. It serves as a reminder that amidst our modern-day festivities, there is value in reflecting on cherished customs from generations past. Whitemay has masterfully captured both the solemnity and merriment associated with Christmas in this stunning piece. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection celebrating historical artistry, this print invites us to pause and appreciate the timeless beauty found within holiday traditions throughout history.
