EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a scene of opulence and tradition. A family sits around a beautifully set dinner table, their eyes fixed on the centerpiece - an extraordinary pie adorned with vibrant peacock feathers. This exquisite creation, known as Peacock Pie, was reserved for the privileged few during English Christmas festivities. The image captures the essence of upper-class indulgence and sophistication. The women are dressed elegantly in intricate gowns while the men don refined suits and top hats. Their expressions reveal anticipation and delight as they prepare to savor this rare delicacy. Peacock pie holds a special place in history as it symbolizes both extravagance and nostalgia. It represents a bygone era when lavish feasts were common among aristocratic families during Christmastime. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost taste the rich flavors that would have graced their palates. This print is taken from "Old Christmas: From The Sketch Book of Washington Irving" illustrated by Randolph Caldecott in 1882. Through its pages, Irving recounts his fond memories of traditional English customs surrounding Christmas celebrations. Whitemay's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life once again, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the cultural significance behind such elaborate culinary traditions.
