EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Christmas Trees in Covent Garden Market," is a monochrome engraving created by Edmund Evans in 1854. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, showcases the bustling scene of Covent Garden Market in London during the Christmas season. The market, a covered market located in the City of Westminster, was a popular destination for Londoners seeking to purchase their Christmas trees. In the photograph, we see a multitude of people, both men and women, of all ages, haggling with market vendors over the price of the perfect Christmas tree. Children, bundled up against the winter chill, watch curiously as their parents select the best tree for their home. The trees, adorned with baskets and guy ropes, are arranged neatly on the market stalls, waiting to be taken home and transformed into the centerpiece of holiday celebrations. The tradition of buying Christmas trees in London dates back to the Victorian era, and this print offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of the season's spirit. The print also highlights the importance of Christmas trees in the Christian celebration of the holiday, as well as the role of the market in providing essential goods and services to the community. The intricate details of the market stalls, the expressions on the faces of the shoppers, and the trees themselves, all contribute to the overall charm and allure of this timeless image.
