EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph, titled "No Physic at Christmas" captures a delightful scene from the Victorian era. In this charming illustration by Mary L. Gow, we are transported to a cozy home during the festive season. A young girl, dressed in her nightgown, mischievously pours her medicine onto the crackling fire instead of taking it as prescribed. The image exudes humor and childhood innocence as the girl rebels against her health regimen on this special occasion. The artist skillfully portrays the child's determination to avoid unpleasant remedies even during Christmas time. With a mischievous smile on her face, she challenges societal expectations with playful defiance. The setting is richly detailed, showcasing elements of a traditional Victorian household complete with an attentive maid standing nearby. The vivid colors bring life to every corner of the print, evoking warmth and joy associated with holiday celebrations. "No Physic at Christmas" reminds us of our own childhood antics and rebellion against unwanted tasks or responsibilities. It serves as a nostalgic reminder that even during times when physical health is prioritized, there is room for laughter and lightheartedness. This artwork offers a glimpse into both historical traditions surrounding healthcare practices and timeless themes of youthful rebellion within familial settings. It invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences while appreciating the artistic talent behind this delightful piece.
