EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1871, showcases a group of elegantly dressed Victorians engaged in the age-old tradition of choosing a turkey for their Christmas dinner on a quintessential farm. The serene countryside setting, with its rolling hills and picturesque farm buildings, serves as a striking backdrop to this cherished family moment. The well-dressed men and women, clad in their finest attire, gather around the farmer, who holds up a particularly handsome turkey for their consideration. The atmosphere is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as they discuss the merits of each bird before making their final selection. The Victorian era was a time of great class and distinction, and this image beautifully encapsulates the elegance and refinement of the era. The group's formal attire, from the ladies' voluminous skirts to the gentlemen's top hats, adds to the sense of occasion and grandeur. The men are even seen enjoying a drink, adding a touch of conviviality to the scene. Despite the passage of time and the many differences that exist between our modern-day customs and those of the Victorians, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring tradition of gathering around the dinner table with loved ones to celebrate the holiday season. The chosen turkey, roasted to perfection, would have been the centerpiece of their Christmas dinner, bringing family and friends together to share in the joy and warmth of the festive occasion.
