EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of "Lord of Misrule" from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the essence of Christmas customs in the 16th century. The Lord of Misrule was a figure appointed to preside over the festivities during the holiday season, embodying chaos and revelry. This historical image showcases a time when merry-making and mischievous behavior were not only accepted but encouraged.
In this depiction, we see a group of individuals engaging in various activities under the watchful eye of the Lord of Misrule. Laughter fills the air as people partake in games, dances, and other forms of entertainment. The scene is alive with energy and excitement, reflecting a time when Christmas celebrations were truly wild and uninhibited.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a bygone era where tradition dictated that order be turned upside down for a brief period each year. The Lord of Misrule symbolizes rebellion against societal norms and expectations, allowing people to let loose and embrace their inner wildness.
This image serves as a reminder that Christmas has always been a time for letting go of inhibitions and embracing joyous chaos. It is a testament to our shared history and traditions surrounding this festive season.
