EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Nothing In It (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of celebration and joy. The image showcases a young girl sitting at a beautifully set table adorned with an exquisite lampshade, Victorian illustrations, and an array of delicious fruits. However, upon closer inspection, we realize that the fruit bowl is empty, symbolizing the anticipation and excitement before a festive dinner. Published in The Graphic Christmas Number in 1886, this illustration by Weedon Grossmith perfectly encapsulates the essence of Christmas celebrations during that era. The child's expression reflects her eagerness for the festivities to begin while highlighting the importance of cherishing simple pleasures. The print not only provides insight into English culture but also offers glimpses into German traditions as well. With references to Germany throughout - from botany and natural history to scientific methods - it hints at European influences on holiday customs. Through this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how children bring life and happiness to any celebratory event. Their innocent enthusiasm can turn even an empty fruit bowl into a source of great tribulation or rejoicing. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this enchanting piece serves as a timeless reminder that true joy lies not in material possessions but in celebrating together with loved ones during special occasions like Christmas.
