EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print titled "Christmas comes but once a year!" captures the essence of a joyous family gathering in the late 19th century. Created by Charles Green and featured in the Pears Christmas Annual of 1896, this colour lithograph transports us back to a time when Christmas was celebrated with grandeur and tradition. The scene unfolds in an opulent dining room adorned with festive decorations. The long table is set for a sumptuous feast, complete with an extravagant plum pudding as its centerpiece. A butler stands attentively nearby, ready to serve the delectable dishes that await the eager guests. Around the table, we see members of an affluent English family dressed in elegant early 19th-century costumes. Laughter fills the air as they gather together to enjoy this special occasion. A servant girl and maid can be spotted among them, reminding us of their integral role in ensuring a seamless celebration. As we gaze at this enchanting image, it evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia for simpler times. It serves as a reminder that Christmas is not just about presents or indulgent meals; it is about coming together with loved ones to create lasting memories. Displayed proudly on your wall, this print from Bridgeman Images will transport you back to an era where traditions were cherished and celebrations were filled with love and merriment.
