EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting wood engraving from 1883, we are transported back in time to witness the timeless tradition of "Bringing home the Yule Log". Father Christmas takes center stage as he skillfully drives a team of majestic cart horses, pulling a timber wagon through a winter wonderland. The scene is beautifully captured by Heywood Sumner's intricate headpiece featured in "The English Illustrated Magazine". As snowflakes gently fall around them, the horses' breath mingles with the crisp winter air, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The Yule Log, symbolizing warmth and light during the festive season, rests securely on the wagon - its crackling flames eagerly awaited by families gathered at home. This image not only showcases the importance of wood as fuel for heating homes during cold winters but also highlights traditional methods of transportation that were prevalent in Victorian England. It reminds us of simpler times when horse-drawn carriages were relied upon for essential tasks like delivering firewood. Universal Images Group (UIG) has preserved this historical gem within their vast archive collection. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a nostalgic reminder of our ancestors' resourcefulness and resilience amidst harsh winters. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past and appreciate how they shaped our present-day celebrations filled with warmth and joy.
