EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CHRISTMAS: YULE-LOG. Bringing in the Yule-Log in colonial America, 17th century" we are transported back to a winter night in late 17th century America. The enchanting engraving by Howard Pyle, created in 1882, beautifully captures the essence of a cherished Christmas tradition. As snow blankets the ground, a procession of men can be seen pulling and dragging a massive yule log through the wintry landscape. Their determined faces reveal their commitment to upholding this age-old custom that symbolizes warmth and prosperity during the holiday season. The scene takes us back to colonial America when communities would come together on Christmas Eve to bring home the yule log. This significant event marked the beginning of festive celebrations as families gathered around roaring fires, sharing stories and creating lasting memories. Pyle's intricate detailing transports us into this historical moment with its authenticity and charm. The flickering lanterns illuminate their path as they navigate through snowy terrain, adding an ethereal glow to this timeless scene. This remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only Howard Pyle's artistry but also provides insight into how our ancestors celebrated Christmas centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect upon our own traditions during this joyous season.
