EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "Old Christmas" by Washington Irving, as depicted in an engraving by Randolph Caldecott. The scene is set during a joyous celebration, where dancing and merriment fill the air. A wassail bowl takes center stage, symbolizing the festive spirit that permeates throughout. In this enchanting illustration, we see an array of characters brought to life from Irving's renowned story. An aunt and a young girl are engaged in a lively dance, their faces beaming with delight. Master Simon, the Oxonian scholar known for his long-winded jokes, adds humor to the gathering while captivating his audience. The choreography of this scene is beautifully portrayed through Caldecott's intricate details and skillful artistry. The blue-eyed romp of these characters evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth associated with Old Christmas traditions. As we delve into this image further, we can almost hear the sermon being delivered in the background – reminding us that amidst all the revelry lies a deeper reverence for tradition and faith. This print not only transports us back to Irving's world but also serves as a reminder of how cherished memories are passed down through generations. It encapsulates youthfulness and innocence while celebrating the timeless magic of Old Christmas festivities.
