EDITORS COMMENTS
On the first day of Christmas, c. 1935" is a captivating and whimsical gouache painting by Edmund Hunter that takes us back to a simpler time. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a lush forest filled with towering trees and an abundance of natural beauty. The focal point of the artwork is a magnificent Christmas tree adorned with colorful decorations and twinkling lights. It stands proudly in the center, symbolizing joy and celebration during the holiday season. A delicate wedding ring hangs from one of its branches, perhaps representing love and unity. Surrounding the tree are various animals, including oxen pulling a plow through the snow-covered ground. These hardworking creatures embody strength and resilience amidst winter's challenges. A graceful swan glides across a nearby pond while doves flutter above, adding an element of serenity to the composition. Hunter's attention to detail brings this idyllic scene to life - each brushstroke captures nature's vibrant colors in all their glory. The artist masterfully combines elements of botany, wildlife, music, and storytelling into one harmonious image. This delightful print evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when children sang songs around decorated trees during Christmastime. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging times like those faced in the early twentieth century or today; there is still magic to be found in nature's wonders and cherished traditions.
