EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, titled 'Angels & Presents,' captures the magical essence of the Christmas season in a bygone era. Dating back to 1912, this photograph, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to a simpler, more nostalgic era. The scene unfolds in a cozy, dimly lit room adorned with festive greenery and twinkling fairy lights. Two small, wide-eyed children huddle together in anticipation, gazing up at an ethereal angel figure. The angel, with her radiant wings spread wide, tenderly reveals the treasured Christmas presents she holds in her arms. The custom of angels appearing at Christmas time is deeply rooted in history, with origins tracing back to the 16th century. Angels were believed to bring blessings and protection to the household, making their appearance a symbol of hope and joy during the holiday season. This charming photograph encapsulates the enduring tradition of angels and the excitement of children as they eagerly await the arrival of their Christmas presents. The children's attire, with their woolen hats and knitted scarves, speaks to the cold winter weather that would have been prevalent during this time. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the room, filled with the scent of pine and the soft glow of the fireplace, serves as a reminder of the comfort and joy that the holiday season brings. This photograph, 'Angels & Presents,' offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to cherish the timeless magic of Christmas and the traditions that continue to bring families together.
