Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print captures the essence of a unique Christmas celebration amidst the untamed wilderness. The scene unfolds under starlit skies as tents dot the horizon, hinting at a festive gathering taking place in this remote African setting. Woodville's attention to detail brings life to every element within the composition. Lions roam freely nearby, their majestic presence contrasting with the joyful atmosphere of Christmas night. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News' Christmas Number in 1902. It beautifully combines artistry and storytelling, inviting viewers into a world where cultures collide and traditions intertwine. Woodville's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture visual beauty but also in his talent for evoking emotions through his work.

Now preserved within a private collection, "Christmas Night in West Africa, an Unbidden Guest" continues to captivate audiences with its poetic allure and timeless message. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst unfamiliar surroundings or unanticipated encounters, there is always room for warmth and hospitality during this magical season.
