Christmas, 1936 - A Festive Auction for the Coveted Christmas Turkey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Alfieri in December 1936, we are transported back to a time when Christmas traditions were cherished with great enthusiasm. The scene unfolds at an auction house bustling with excitement as eager bidders gather around, their eyes fixed on the prized centerpiece of every holiday feast - the Christmas turkey. The photograph showcases a diverse crowd eagerly vying for their chance to secure the finest bird for their festive table. Men dressed in traditional butcher attire skillfully display plump turkeys hanging from hooks while meticulously weighing them on scales. Schoolchildren wearing smart uniforms observe wide-eyed, perhaps dreaming of the succulent flavors that await them during this joyous season. Alfieri's lens captures not only the intense competition among buyers but also reveals a snapshot of European life during the thirties. The monochrome image transports us to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and community spirit thrived amidst economic challenges. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, it serves as a poignant reminder of how our ancestors celebrated Christmas with reverence and gratitude. It encapsulates both tradition and anticipation - elements that continue to define our modern-day festivities even decades later. This remarkable piece by Alfieri offers us a glimpse into history while igniting nostalgia for simpler times when auctions like these brought communities together in pursuit of creating unforgettable holiday memories.
