EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration graced the cover of The Illustrated London News Christmas Number in 1887, capturing the essence of the Victorian holiday season. A lady, dressed in her finest, meticulously decorates her home with garlands of lush greenery. The interior of her house is warmly lit, casting a soft glow on the festive scene. With a contented expression, she arranges holly, ivy, and mistletoe, adding to the seasonal beauty of her abode. The presence of a mother and her child, along with a curious girl peeking from the staircase, adds a touch of domestic bliss and joy to the image. The intricate details of the illustration, from the ornate fireplace to the delicate patterns on the wallpaper, transport us back to the 19th century and the unique charm of the Victorian era. The Illustrated London News Christmas Number was a much-anticipated publication during the holiday season, offering its readers a glimpse into the festive lives of the British people.
