EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1875 transports us back to a bustling street in Richmond, Virginia during the Christmas season. In this snapshot of history, we witness the timeless tradition of selling Christmas trees unfold before our eyes. The scene is filled with an array of characters - men, women, and children - all eagerly engaged in the festive activity. A group of hardworking individuals stand proudly behind their carefully arranged display of evergreen trees. Their faces reflect determination and pride as they offer these beautiful symbols of holiday cheer to passersby. Amidst the crowd, a young girl catches our attention. Her wide-eyed wonderment hints at her excitement for the upcoming festivities. Clutching her mother's hand tightly, she gazes up at the towering evergreens with pure delight. In contrast to this youthful innocence stands a group of boys playfully tending to cows nearby. Their mischievous grins suggest that even amidst such seasonal hustle and bustle, there is always room for lightheartedness and joy. This enchanting engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder that certain traditions transcend generations. It evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us that some customs remain steadfast throughout history – like selecting the perfect Christmas tree to adorn our homes during this magical time of year.
