A Race for a Kiss
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that captures the joy and excitement of the Christmas season. Created by Leo Malempre, this artwork takes us back to 1894 when it was featured in The Illustrated London News' Christmas Number. In this enchanting scene, we find ourselves amidst a festive race towards mistletoe, where couples eagerly vie for a chance to steal a kiss. The staircase leading up to the mistletoe-laden tree becomes an arena of anticipation and romance as participants sprint with wide smiles on their faces. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the botanical elements surrounding the scene. Mistletoe, known for its association with love and affection during Christmastime, adds an extra layer of symbolism to this lively competition. Beyond its whimsical charm, "A Race for a Kiss" also hints at scientific methods and natural history through its portrayal of botany. This fusion between art and science showcases Malempre's versatility as an artist while reminding us that even in moments of celebration, there is always room for curiosity and exploration. This delightful print from Bridgeman Images invites us into a world where merriment meets knowledge—a perfect addition to any collection celebrating both artistic beauty and intellectual pursuits.
