EDITORS COMMENTS
This broadside, published on September 12, 1800, by Laurie & Whittle in London, showcases the enchanting Christmas tale "The Mistletoe" through a combination of elegant engraving and poetic text. The vertical, beige rectangle, measuring 41.3 x 25.2 cm, is adorned with a charming illustration at its top. The engraving depicts a romantic couple sharing a tender kiss beneath a mistletoe bough, their faces filled with joy and merriment. The couple's celebration of the holiday season is further emphasized by the warm, inviting interior setting of the image. The text of the poem, "A Christmas Tale," unfolds beneath the illustration in neat, vertical lines. The words, written in a clear, legible font, weave a story of love, tradition, and the magic of the holiday season. The broadside's white background adds to the overall simplicity and elegance of the design, making the engraving and text stand out. The print's age, over 200 years old, only adds to its allure and historical significance. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of poetry and the importance of cherishing the traditions that bring us closer to our loved ones during the holiday season.
