EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the enchanting era of 19th century English Christmas traditions. The weather-beaten coachman takes center stage, his ruddy face and rugged appearance telling tales of a life spent braving the elements. Dressed in a magnificent greatcoat that shields him from the biting winter cold, he exudes an air of authority and experience. A beaver hat perched atop his head adds a touch of elegance to his attire, while his hands casually rest in the pockets of his coat - a nonchalant pose that speaks volumes about his confidence and self-assuredness. But it is the holly sprig adorning his button-hole that truly captures our attention. Symbolizing hope and joy during this festive season, it serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh conditions, there is always room for celebration. This sketch-like image beautifully illustrates Randolph Caldecott's artistic talent as he brings Washington Irving's nostalgic memories to life. Published by Macmillan & Co in London in 1882, "Old Christmas: From The Sketch Book" immerses us into an era where holiday customs were cherished with utmost reverence. As we gaze upon this timeless portrayal of a mature man embodying both strength and gentleness, we cannot help but feel drawn into the magic of Christmases long past. Whitemay's exquisite print allows us to relish in these historical moments without commercial distractions – simply appreciating art at its finest.
