EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Christmas Mistletoe, 1854. The mistletoe seller" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of an English town during the holiday season. Created by renowned artist Myles Birket Foster, this wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of a winter scene filled with festive cheer. In the center of the image stands a young girl, her bonnet adorning her head as she eagerly tends to her small stall adorned with branches of mistletoe. With a dog faithfully by her side, she exudes determination and hard work as she engages with potential customers passing by. The street is alive with activity - men and women dressed in their winter attire can be seen strolling along, perhaps on their way to purchase Christmas decorations or gifts for loved ones. The vendor's presence adds an air of commerce and community spirit to this charming scene. The intricate details captured through engraving techniques transport us back to England in 1854, offering a glimpse into daily life during that era. This print serves as a reminder of simpler times when people relied on local vendors for their holiday needs. Whether displayed in your home or office space, this timeless piece from The Granger Collection will surely evoke nostalgia and spark conversations about the rich history behind it.
