EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming depiction of Christmas Eve traditions from the late 19th century, as children bundle up against the winter chill to bring home the family's Christmas goose. Dressed in their best clothing and clutching baskets or sacks, these young helpers make their way through the freshly fallen snow, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. The goose, likely sourced from a local farmer or market, was a staple of many Victorian-era Christmas dinners, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The image captures the sense of community and togetherness that characterized the holiday season during this time, as families came together to celebrate and share in the joy of the season. This beautiful print, dating back to 1879, offers a glimpse into the past and reminds us of the enduring traditions that continue to shape our modern-day celebrations of Christmas.
