EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Raffling the Christmas Goose" we are transported back to the 19th century, where a festive scene unfolds before our eyes. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of a traditional Christmas raffle, as families gather around in hopes of winning the grand prize - a plump and succulent goose. The artist, S. T. Dadd, skillfully brings every detail to life with intricate lines and shading. We can almost hear the chatter and laughter filling the room as people eagerly await their turn to draw a ticket from the hat. The atmosphere is filled with joy and merriment, reflecting the spirit of Christmas. This enchanting print was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 24th, 1887. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when communities came together during this special season to celebrate and share in each other's happiness. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for an era long gone by. It reminds us that despite changing times and evolving traditions, some things remain constant - like the joyous tradition of raffling off a prized Christmas goose. Bridgeman Images has preserved this timeless piece for us to enjoy, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Let it transport you back in time as you imagine yourself partaking in this heartwarming holiday tradition alongside generations past.
