EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Robinson: A Delightful Edwardian Holiday Scene from 1906 In this charming illustration by Charles Robinson, titled "Grandpapa's Game," we are transported back in time to the Edwardian era, specifically the festive season of 1906. The scene is set indoors, with Grandmamma, an elegantly dressed elderly woman with grey hair, standing below a large bough of mistletoe. Her back is turned to us, and she seems lost in thought, perhaps humming a Christmas carol or reminiscing about past holidays. Unbeknownst to Grandmamma, Grandpapa, an equally elderly man with a velvet jacket and a grey beard, is sneaking up behind her, holding yet more mistletoe. His mischievous grin suggests that he's planning to play a playful prank on his wife. The scene is further enhanced by the warm glow of candlelight from a nearby candelabra, casting a soft, romantic light over the couple and their surroundings. Grandmamma wears a beautiful lace dress and a lacy shawl, while Grandpapa dons a smart jacket and a hat. The children in the background, dressed in their Sunday best, watch the scene unfold with delight, no doubt anticipating the joyful moment when Grandpapa surprises Grandmamma with a kiss under the mistletoe. This delightful illustration captures the essence of the holiday season in the early 1900s, with its focus on family, tradition, and the simple pleasures of life. The use of rich colors and intricate details adds to the overall charm and appeal of this timeless image. Whether hanging on a wall or displayed as a print, "Grandpapa's Game" is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates the beauty and warmth of the holiday season.
