EDITORS COMMENTS
A Angel's Appreciation for the Traditional Christmas Tree: A Beautiful Image from the Early 1900s This enchanting photograph, titled "Angel and Tree," captures the essence of the Christmas season and the timeless tradition of decorating the holiday tree. The image, taken in circa 1905, transports us back in time to a simpler era, where the magic of the season was found in the smallest of details. The scene unfolds in the heart of the woods, where a solitary angel stands in awe before a tree adorned with candles and dingle-dangles. The angel, with its ethereal wings spread wide, gazes upon the tree with a look of admiration and wonder. The tree, though situated in the wilderness, is none the less bedecked with the trimmings of the season. The use of candles on the tree was a common practice during the late 1800s and early 1900s, before the advent of electric lights. The tree was a symbol of hope and renewal, and the candles represented the light of the stars and the warmth of the hearth. The dingle-dangles, or tinsel, added a touch of sparkle and shimmer to the tree, enhancing its beauty and allure. This image is a testament to the enduring customs and traditions of the Christmas season, which have been passed down through generations. It is a reminder that the true meaning of Christmas lies not in the commercial aspects of the holiday, but in the simple joys of family, friendship, and the wonder of the season. As we admire this beautiful photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time, to a place of innocence and wonder, where the magic of the Christmas tree continues to enchant us, just as it did over a century ago.
