EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a magical winter wonderland of yesteryear with this charming image from the Victorian era, circa 1890s. The scene is set against a backdrop of pristine, icy landscapes, where people don their warmest clothes to enjoy the season's festivities. A group of children, bundled up in coats, hats, and muffs, eagerly approach a frozen pond, their eyes filled with excitement and wonder. Some hold onto their skates, while others cling to each other for support. Across the scene, a woman in a voluminous coat and hat sits comfortably in a traditional sleigh, pulled by a team of horses. The horses' breaths steam in the crisp air as they trot along, their hooves leaving small imprints in the snow. The serene beauty of the winter season is captured in every detail, from the intricate designs on the girls' skates to the delicate lace on the women's hats. This heartwarming image, from The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, is the perfect greeting for the holiday season, evoking memories of simpler times and the joy of coming together with loved ones to celebrate the magic of winter.
