Waiting For Santa Claus
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Jessie Willcox Smith captures the magical anticipation of Christmas Eve through a charming colour illustration. In this historical piece from 1907, two young children are depicted trying to stay awake for Santa Claus's visit. The soft hues and intricate details bring to life the excitement and wonder of the holiday season.
As November turns into December, these children eagerly await the arrival of jolly old St. Nick on the 23rd, hoping to catch a glimpse of him in their home. Their eyes are wide with anticipation, their faces filled with hope and joy as they listen for sleigh bells in the night.
Jessie Willcox Smith's talent shines through in this heartwarming scene, capturing a moment that is both nostalgic and timeless. The innocence and purity of childhood are beautifully portrayed as these children hold onto their belief in magic and miracles.
As we look at this illustration, we are reminded of our own memories of waiting for Santa Claus as children, feeling that same sense of excitement and wonder. It serves as a reminder to cherish those moments of pure happiness during the holiday season.
This print is not just a beautiful work of art; it is a window into history and tradition that continues to captivate audiences over a century later.
