EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Teddy Dixon's Dream - A Story for Christmas" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically 1907. The artist behind this enchanting piece is Soldan & Co, renowned for their intricate lithographs. Printed with Mander Brothers inks, the attention to detail and vibrant colors truly bring this image to life. The focal point of the print is Father Christmas himself, portrayed as a jolly man with a long white beard and rosy cheeks. Dressed in his iconic red suit trimmed with white fur, he carries a sack filled with gifts over his shoulder while standing next to an elaborately decorated Christmas tree. This heartwarming scene evokes feelings of joy and anticipation that are synonymous with the holiday season. The religious undertones are evident through the subtle use of yellow hues symbolizing enlightenment and spirituality. Teddy Dixon's Dream serves as a reminder of the Christian origins of Christmas and emphasizes its significance as a time for giving. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we catch a glimpse into the world of printing during that era. Raithby, Lawrence & Co. , Ltd. , based in London and Leicester, published this particular issue of The British Printer Vol. XX which featured this beautiful artwork on its front cover. Overall, this remarkable portrait captures both the magic and nostalgia associated with Santa Claus or Father Christmas—his timeless appeal transcending generations—and invites us to embrace the spirit of generosity during Christmastime.
