EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Christmas Carol" transports us back to the enchanting winter of 1888. The print captures a serene scene from Charles Dickens' timeless tale, as depicted by the talented artist John Sargent Noble. In this picturesque setting, we find ourselves in a snow-covered stable surrounded by an air of tranquility. Two loyal hounds take respite on a bed of hay while their master sweeps away the freshly fallen snow with a broom. The dogs seem content and at ease, perhaps having just returned from an exhilarating chase through the wintry landscape. As our gaze wanders beyond the stable doors, we notice a delicate robin perched atop one of its wooden beams. Its vibrant red breast stands out against the monochromatic backdrop, adding a touch of color to this otherwise muted scene. Noble's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique - from the intricate textures on each dog's fur to the meticulously rendered bricks that make up the stable walls. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia associated with Christmas festivities. "A Christmas Carol" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of Dickens' enduring legacy. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as compassion, redemption, and love during this joyous season when hearts are open wide.
