EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 18th century print captures the romantic spirit of the holiday season in a snowy rural landscape. A young couple, bundled up against the cold, are seen carrying bunches of holly in their arms. The woman, dressed in a elegant gown and a fashionable bonnet, looks lovingly at her partner, who wears a tricorne hat adorned with a feather. The couple's smiles radiate warmth and joy, despite the wintry surroundings. The print, titled "A Merry Christmas," is a charming depiction of the holiday traditions of the past. Holly, with its bright red berries and glossy leaves, was a popular decoration during the 18th century, symbolizing the everlasting life and hope. The couple's attire, reminiscent of the Regency era, adds to the historical authenticity of the scene. The print, from the collection of Ethel Johnston Phelps, is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and enduring love that the holiday season brings. The snow-covered trees and peaceful countryside in the background create a serene and idyllic setting, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This print, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, makes for a perfect addition to any home or office during the holiday season or all year round. It is a treasure to be cherished and passed down through generations, a testament to the power of love and the magic of the holidays.
