EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Symptoms of Boxing Night" transports us back to the Christmas season of 1871. Created by Charles Green and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the domestic scenes that unfolded during this festive time. The image captures an intimate moment within a cozy interior. A woman is engrossed in her ironing task while surrounded by various signs of post-Christmas chaos. The room is adorned with discarded wrapping paper, empty boxes, and scattered toys - clear evidence of the joyful festivities that took place just hours before. Green's meticulous attention to detail allows us to observe every nuance in this scene. From the weariness etched on the woman's face as she tackles her household duties after a long night celebrating, to the sense of warmth emanating from the crackling fireplace in the background; each element adds depth and authenticity to this snapshot of Victorian life. "Symptoms of Boxing Night" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, offering insight into how our ancestors celebrated Christmas over a century ago. It reminds us that even amidst all the merriment and joyous moments shared with loved ones during this special time, there are always remnants left behind – tangible reminders that tell their own stories long after memories have faded away. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder so that we may continue to appreciate its beauty and reflect upon our own holiday traditions against those depicted in days gone by
