EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Christmas, 1860s" takes us back in time to a festive scene filled with holiday cheer. Created by the talented artist Charity Mansell, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Christmas in the 19th century. The image showcases Father Christmas, also known as Santa Claus, seated on a beautifully decorated sleigh. With his long white beard and red suit, he exudes warmth and joy as he prepares to embark on his annual gift-giving journey. The sleigh is adorned with holly leaves and berries, symbolizing good fortune and protection. In this enchanting depiction, we see Father Christmas pulling a goblet from his sack of presents. This gesture represents the spirit of sharing and celebration that defines the holiday season. Surrounding him are various characters such as Sir Christmasee and Christopher St. , adding depth to the narrative. Mansell's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph evoke a sense of nostalgia while capturing the magic of Christmas past. This remarkable artwork is now part of a private collection but has been made available for public enjoyment thanks to Bridgeman Images. It serves as a reminder that despite changing times and evolving traditions, the spirit of Old Christmas continues to inspire generations with its timeless message of love, generosity, and goodwill towards all humankind.
