EDITORS COMMENTS
Mr Punch, the iconic English puppet figure, and his loyal canine companion Toby, brave the chilly winter weather as they embark on their annual tradition of going "first footing" in the New Year. Dressed in his traditional hat and coat, Mr Punch runs up the snow-covered steps of a Victorian house, with Toby eagerly following behind. The anticipation is palpable through the frost-covered window, as a family gathers inside, eager to welcome the first visitor of the New Year. The children press their noses against the glass, their eyes wide with excitement and wonder. This historical image, captured in 1897, portrays a cherished custom that dates back to the 16th century. The belief was that the first person to enter a home in the New Year would bring good fortune and blessings for the coming year. Mr Punch, with his mischievous and lively nature, was a popular choice for this role, bringing laughter and joy to the household. The snowy scene adds an extra layer of charm and magic to this traditional moment. The crunch of footsteps in the snow, the scent of woodsmoke from the chimney, and the sound of children's laughter all combine to create a sense of warmth and togetherness in the midst of the cold winter weather. As the door creaks open, Mr Punch and Toby are greeted with open arms, and the family prepares to offer them a basket of treats and good wishes for the New Year. This heartwarming tradition continues, connecting generations and reminding us of the importance of community and connection in our lives.
