EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a lithograph from the Christmas '98 edition of Harper's Weekly, published by Harper Publications in New York City during the late 19th century. The 44-page magazine, priced at 25 cents, showcases the artwork of renowned illustrator Edward Penfield. The central focus of the illustration is a jovial brown bear, dressed in a red apron and hat, preparing for Christmas dinner. The bear is flanked by a trio of animals - a black bear, a moose, and a deer - all gathered around a table adorned with Christmas decorations. The animals appear to be engaged in the act of serving a roast, adding to the festive atmosphere. The illustration, titled "Christmas Dinner," is a testament to the rich heritage of American illustration during the 19th century. The use of lithography and lithotint techniques results in a stunning, vibrant image with intricate details. The lettering on the magazine's cover is elegantly designed, with capitalized text that exudes a sense of excitement and anticipation for the holiday season. The image is a beautiful representation of the concept of togetherness and the celebration of Christmas in the United States during this era. This vintage poster is now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, a treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that provide valuable insights into the past. The image is a reminder of the role that magazines, such as Harper's Weekly, played in shaping American culture and spreading the spirit of the holiday season during the late 1800s.
