EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Victorian Christmas: My Children's Carols, 1885" This enchanting engraving, titled "My Children's Carols," transports us back to the heart of the Christmas season in a Victorian household during the late 19th century. The image, produced in 1885, showcases a wealthy family gathered in their elegant sitting room, engaged in the joyful tradition of singing Christmas carols. The room is adorned with the opulence and grandeur characteristic of the Victorian era. Rich, velvet drapes frame the tall, arched windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. The fireplace roars with a cheerful blaze, reflecting off the polished mahogany furniture and ornate, gilded mirrors. The family members, dressed in their finest attire, sit on plush, upholstered chairs, their faces illuminated by the soft, flickering light. At the center of the room, the family gathers around a small, wooden table, where a beautifully decorated Christmas tree stands proudly. The tree, adorned with intricate glass ornaments, twinkling tinsel, and fragrant pine cones, adds to the magical ambiance of the scene. The children, bundled up in coats and scarves, sit on the floor, their eyes wide with excitement as they sing along with their parents. The original caption, "My Children's Carols," speaks to the importance of family and tradition during the holiday season. This engraving is an enduring reminder of the simple joys and cherished moments that make Christmas a beloved and timeless celebration. This image, with its rich history and intricate details, is an essential addition to any collection of Victorian Christmas art or decor. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the season and the power of family and tradition to bring joy and warmth to our lives. [Mary Evans Picture Library, ILN 21, 7 December 1885, p. 1117]
