EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time and join the merriment of a Medieval Christmas as depicted in this enchanting illustration by Mary Jane Newill, circa 1905. The scene unfolds with Medieval folk following a young man carrying a plump and steaming Christmas pudding, reminiscent of the traditional English dessert that has been a staple of holiday celebrations for centuries. The quote inscribed at the top, "At Christmas Play and Make Good Cheer, for Christmas Comes but Once a Year," by Thomas Tusser (1524-1580), adds to the festive spirit, encouraging merrymaking and enjoyment during this special season. Newill's illustration captures the essence of the Medieval era with its intricate details, from the layered textures of the clothing to the rustic backdrop of the village scene. The warm glow of the lanterns and the cheerful expressions on the faces of the villagers all contribute to the sense of joy and camaraderie that is synonymous with the holiday season. This image, with its nostalgic charm and timeless message, makes for a perfect greeting card or decorative piece, reminding us to cherish the moments of happiness and togetherness that come but once a year."
