This captivating lithograph, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Harper's Christmas" by Edward Penfield, dates back to the late 19th century, published by Harper Publications in New York. The image transports us back in time to a simpler era, filled with the joy and merriment of the Christmas season. Two elegantly dressed figures, a man and a woman, are depicted in the scene. The man, dressed in a dapper suit and top hat, holds a cloak open for the woman, who wears a voluminous, red velvet dress with a lace collar and black shawl. The woman's elegant, flowing skirt trails behind her as she takes a graceful step forward. In the background, Father Christmas, or Santa Claus, can be seen in his traditional red and white attire, distributing gifts to children. The scene is set in a rustic, country location, with trees adorned with twinkling lights and snow covering the ground. The festive atmosphere is further emphasized by the lettering at the bottom of the print, which reads "Harper's" in bold, capital letters. The intricate detail and beautiful color palette of this lithograph make it a true work of art. The use of black and red hues adds a sense of depth and contrast, while the lithotint technique adds texture and depth to the image. This print is a testament to the rich heritage of American illustration and the enduring appeal of the Christmas season." This stunning piece of art is a treasure from the collections of the New York Public Library and a reminder of the beauty and tradition of Christmas celebrations in the 19th century United States.
