EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century chromolithograph print, titled "Sabots de Noel et Boite avec Couvercle et Manches de Delft, Hollande" (Christmas Clogs and Box with Lid and Handles from Delft, Netherlands), offers a delightful glimpse into the festive traditions of the past. The intricately detailed image showcases a charming scene of Dutch Christmas cheer, with a beautifully decorated box filled with traditional clogs, or sabots, nestled amongst red and gold ribbons and holly leaves. The clogs themselves, crafted in the distinctive blue and white Delft style, are adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate porcelain detailing. Each clog is meticulously hand-finished, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Dutch ceramists of the time. The box, also in the Delft style, is adorned with gold accents and intricate floral designs, making it a fitting container for the precious sabots. This print, taken from Ris Paquots "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," published in Paris in 1874, provides a unique and captivating window into the past. The detailed chromolithograph process used to create the image allows for a level of detail and vibrancy that would have been difficult to achieve through other printing methods of the time. The use of hand-finishing techniques further adds to the authenticity and charm of the image. The Christmas clogs and box depicted in this print were once a cherished part of Dutch holiday traditions, and this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history and artistry that continues to inspire us today.
