EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching, titled "AT HOME in the NURSERY" or "The Masters and misses two shoes - A Christmas Party," was drawn by the renowned English artist George Cruikshank and published by Thomas McLean in London in 1835. The image portrays a lively and colourful Christmas scene taking place in a nursery, filled with the joy and excitement of children. In the foreground, we see a group of children, dressed in their best clothes, gathered around a large wooden table, engaged in various activities. Some are playing with toys, while others are dancing merrily, their rosy cheeks glowing with delight. A few children are even shown peeking over the edge of the table, curious about the festivities. The room itself is adorned with pink and red hues, adding to the festive atmosphere. A Christmas tree stands in the background, its branches laden with colourful ornaments and candles. The children's shoes, neatly arranged by the fireplace, add a charming touch to the image, symbolizing the end of the day's celebrations. George Cruikshank's masterful use of etching techniques and Thomas McLean's vibrant colouring bring this 19th-century nursery Christmas party to life. The horizontal composition of the image invites the viewer to take in every detail, from the children's playful expressions to the intricately designed toys and decorations. This etching is a delightful reminder of the simple joys and traditions of a bygone era, making it a cherished addition to any collection of historical or decorative art.
