EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration by Pauline Baynes captures the early origins of the Christmas tree tradition in the 18th century, as depicted in The Illustrated London News Christmas number 1737. The scene unfolds in a quaint German village, where a woman, dressed in traditional attire, proudly displays her family's Christmas trees. According to historical records, this custom began when a member of the University of Wittenberg described small trees, adorned with lighted candles, which a country lady he knew had for each of her children. The warm glow of the candles illuminated the room, creating a festive atmosphere filled with joy and wonder. This heartwarming custom, deeply rooted in German culture, spread across Europe and eventually reached England, becoming an integral part of Christmas celebrations. Pauline Baynes' beautiful illustration captures the essence of this early Christmas tradition, reminding us of the simple pleasures and enduring customs that have shaped the holiday season for generations.
