EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1876, titled "Choosing the Christmas Turkey; Fat and Lean" we are transported back in time to witness a festive scene that captures the essence of holiday traditions. The artist's illustrative technique brings to life a moment of anticipation and decision-making as families prepare for their Christmas feast. The image showcases two turkeys side by side, one plump and succulent, while the other appears leaner. This visual juxtaposition highlights the age-old dilemma faced by households during this special time of year - which turkey will grace their table? The attention to detail in this engraved image is remarkable, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also gain insight into historic culinary preferences. This enchanting piece belongs to the realm of 19th-century art, with its retro-styled aesthetic evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. It serves as a window into our cultural heritage and reminds us of how our ancestors celebrated Christmas festivities long ago. As we gaze upon this vintage print from Liszt Collection's Arkheia archives, we can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate engravings. Whether displayed on its own or incorporated into a collection celebrating historical artwork, "Choosing the Christmas Turkey; Fat and Lean" offers an opportunity for reflection on our shared past while adding a touch of timeless charm to any space it graces.
