Small Christmas, 1896 - A Glimpse into the Innocence of a Bygone Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This enchanting print captures the essence of a small Christmas celebration in 19th century France. Created by artist F Meaulle and featured in Le Petit Journal on December 27th, 1896, it offers a nostalgic glimpse into the joys of childhood during this magical time of year. In this scene, we find ourselves transported to a cozy bedroom adorned with vibrant colors and filled with an aura of harmony. A group of young girls peacefully slumber under the watchful eye of an angelic figure with delicate wings, symbolizing protection and divine presence. The room is illuminated by the warm glow emanating from a crackling fireplace nearby. Through an open window draped with curtains, one can catch glimpses of snow-covered rooftops hinting at the wintry night outside. As we observe these innocent children nestled together in their beds, it becomes evident that they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas morning and its promised delights. The atmosphere exudes both religious devotion and childlike wonder as they dream about what surprises may await them beneath their beautifully decorated tree. This remarkable artwork not only showcases Meaulle's skillful engraving technique but also serves as a poignant reminder that despite being separated by more than a century from this moment captured in time, our shared human experience continues to be shaped by cherished traditions such as Christmas - connecting us across generations and cultures alike.
