EDITORS COMMENTS
Approach to Christmas" is a captivating 19th century aquatint and hand-colored print by George Hunt, showcasing the festive spirit of Britain during the holiday season. The image depicts a Norwich-London stagecoach making its way through a picturesque winter landscape, with snow-covered buildings and trees in the background. The passengers inside the coach, bundled up against the cold, seem to be in high spirits as they anticipate the approaching holiday. Outside, a coachman in a red coat and top hat expertly maneuvers the horse-drawn vehicle through the snowy road. The animals, including horses and pheasants, appear alert and energetic, adding to the lively scene. A Christmas tree, adorned with colorful ornaments and candles, is visible through the window of the coach, while poultry and game are displayed on a nearby table, suggesting the bounty of the season. The print, titled "Approach to Christmas," is a testament to the rich heritage of British art and the enduring appeal of the holiday season. It captures the essence of the season, from the festive decorations to the traditional occupations and modes of transportation, and invites us to imagine the joy and wonder of a bygone era. This beautiful work of art, created by George Hunt and published by James Pollard, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christmas traditions, or the charms of 19th century England. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of prints and drawings. Its intricate detail and vibrant colors make it a standout piece, and a reminder of the beauty and richness of the artistic legacy of the past.
