EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian image of a cheerful robin perched atop a charming Christmas scrap. Dating back to the 1890s, this beautiful photograph captures the essence of the holiday season with its elegant combination of winter's first blooms and the iconic red berries of the robin. Nestled within a wickerwork basket, the robin proudly displays its bounty of snowdrops and mistletoe. The snowdrops, with their pure white flowers and green leaves, are a symbol of the winter thaw and the promise of spring to come. The mistletoe, a traditional Christmas decoration, adds a touch of festivity and romance to the scene. The robin, a beloved bird in many cultures, is often associated with the holiday season and is said to bring good fortune and happiness. Its bright red breast and plump body are a striking contrast against the wintery backdrop, making it a delightful addition to this Victorian Christmas scrap. The intricately woven wicker handle of the basket adds to the overall charm and craftsmanship of the piece. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the beauty of nature, even in the depths of winter. This image is part of The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the magic of Christmas was found in the smallest of details.
