EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the enchanting era of Victorian England. The image showcases a woman, possibly a servant, delicately holding a letter in her hands. Her attire reflects the stereotypical 19th-century housewife style, with its modest yet elegant design. The sketch-like quality of the artwork adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the scene. Every stroke seems to whisper tales of bygone Christmas traditions and customs that Washington Irving so fondly chronicled in his book "Old Christmas". Published in 1882 by Macmillan & Co. , London, this literary masterpiece captures Irving's sentimental memories of English holiday festivities. As we gaze upon this monochromatic masterpiece illustrated by Randolph Caldecott, we can't help but imagine the anticipation and curiosity swirling within our Victorian protagonist as she holds that precious letter. What news or secret does it contain? Is it from a loved one far away or perhaps an invitation to partake in merriment during the festive season? Whitemay's skillful reproduction transports us into an era where handwritten letters held immense significance and communication was slower-paced yet more heartfelt. This print serves as a window into history, reminding us of the beauty found within simple moments and cherished traditions long past.
