EDITORS COMMENTS
A lively scene from The Humorist Christmas Number, a delightful illustration from the past that captures the mischievous spirit of the holiday season. Two diners, engrossed in the age-old tradition of pulling a wishbone from a roasted chicken, lean in with determined expressions, oblivious to the chaos they are about to unleash. Their exuberant tug causes a cascade of plates, bread, wine bottles, and the tablecloth to topple, sending crockery shattering to the floor. The waitress, dressed in the elegant attire of a bygone era, looks on in amazement or perhaps annoyance, her hands shielding her cap as she tries to maintain her composure. A small dog and cat, sensing the commotion, scamper out of the way, adding to the chaos. This humorous illustration, reminiscent of the mischievous antics of the holiday season, is a testament to the enduring tradition of wishing for good fortune and the unexpected twists and turns that life can bring." "The illustration, from The Humorist Christmas Number, is a charming snapshot of a historical dining scene, complete with elegant table settings, fine china, and a waitress in traditional servant attire. The messy aftermath of the wishbone pull adds an element of humor and unpredictability to the scene, making it a delightful addition to any collection of holiday-themed art. Whether hung on a wall or displayed as a centerpiece, this illustration is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it and remind us of the joy and good fortune we wish for during the holiday season."
