EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of Christmas" takes us back in time to the 19th century, capturing the festive spirit of a bygone era. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this engraving offers a glimpse into the vibrant marketplaces during Christmas time. The scene is bustling with activity as people gather around various stalls and public houses. The air is filled with excitement as customers eagerly participate in meat raffles, hoping to win themselves a succulent Christmas goose or other delectable cuts. Butchers can be seen showcasing their finest produce, enticing passersby with mouthwatering displays. The level of detail in this artwork transports us to a world where marketing was done through personal interactions rather than digital screens. The atmosphere is alive with laughter and conversation as shoppers engage in friendly banter while making their purchases for the holiday season. Through this enchanting image, we are reminded of the timeless traditions that have shaped our celebrations over centuries. It serves as a beautiful reminder that even though times may change, the joyous spirit of Christmas remains constant throughout history. This exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides valuable insight into how our ancestors celebrated this special time of year.
