A Welcome Amendment to an Obsolete Claus - Daughter Christmas Takes a Flight and Makes a Professional Call
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful color illustration by E.F. Sherie, titled "Daughter Christmas," we see a young woman in a red coat and hat, stepping off a plane with the assistance of a pilot. This charming scene marks a significant departure from the traditional image of Santa Claus delivering presents. The caption reads, "Daughter Christmas: Takes a Flight, and Makes a Professional Call on Behalf of Her Father, Shortly Retiring from the Business on the Ground of Age and Impaired Reputation." This humorous and progressive take on the holiday season reflects the changing times of the early 20th century. E.F. Sherie, the illustrator, was known for her work in True Stories of Girl Heroines by Evelyn Everett-Green. Her skillful use of color and detail in this image captures the excitement and modernity of air travel in the 1910s. The contrast between the traditional Santa Claus image and the contemporary scene of a daughter taking a flight adds a playful and fresh perspective to the holiday season. This illustration, dated 1910, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the artistic talent of E.F. Sherie. It is a reminder that even the most beloved traditions can be updated and reimagined to reflect the changing world around us.
