EDITORS COMMENTS
Christmas Morning" by Margaret Tempest is a captivating and heartwarming depiction of the joy and excitement of the holiday season, as captured in this early 1900s print. The scene takes place in a cozy, four-poster bedroom, where a family of five gathers around the bed, each eagerly opening their new gifts. The room is bathed in the warm, gentle glow of candlelight, casting a soft, romantic hue over the scene. At the center of the bed, a little girl in a white nightgown and red ribbons in her hair is in the process of pulling a brightly wrapped present from under the bed. Her excited expression is mirrored by her younger brother, who sits up in bed, clutching a stuffed bear with a delighted grin. Their mother and father, dressed in their nightclothes and looking on with amusement, seem to be enjoying the moment as much as their children. The older siblings, a boy and a girl, sit on the floor, surrounded by an array of new toys and presents. The girl, dressed in a pretty blue dress and white apron, holds a doll in her arms, while the boy, wearing a red sweater and trousers, examines a toy car. The anthropomorphic teddy bear on the bed seems to join in the family's excitement, as if sharing in their joy and wonder. The scene is filled with the simple pleasures of Christmas morning - the anticipation of new gifts, the warmth of family, and the magic of the holiday season. Tempest's skilled use of color and composition captures the essence of this cherished moment, making "Christmas Morning" a timeless and beloved image of the holiday season.
