EDITORS COMMENTS
A Frosty Reception: Ally Sloper's Unconventional Christmas Carols (1888) This intriguing photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures a unique and humorous take on the traditional Christmas caroling custom. The scene unfolds at the doorstep of Ally Sloper, a well-known comic character from the popular British satirical magazine, "Judy," created by English cartoonist Richard F. Outcault. Ally Sloper, portrayed by actor W.S. Penley, is depicted here with a jug of cold water, ready to douse a group of carolers - surprisingly, his own children! The children, bundled up in their winter clothing, are in the midst of singing Christmas carols, unaware of their father's impending prank. The frosty air and the festive atmosphere are evident in the image, with the children's rosy cheeks and the snow-covered ground. The door, adorned with holly and ivy, adds to the Christmas spirit. However, Ally Sloper's aversion to Christmas carols is a peculiar twist in this historical depiction. This photograph, taken on the 22nd of December in 1888, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Christmas traditions and the playful customs that have evolved over time. Despite Ally Sloper's unconventional approach to Christmas carols, the spirit of the season remains alive in the laughter and joy shared among the family.
