EDITORS COMMENTS
Boxing Day Bliss: A Humorous Scene by Cruikshank, 1836 Step back in time to the festive season of 1836, as we delve into the world of satirical cartoonist, George Cruikshank, and his depiction of Boxing Day customs. This enchanting print, titled "Boxing Day," by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a delightful blend of holiday traditions, boxing, and puns. At the heart of the scene, a child, with a mischievous grin, has his ears playfully boxed by an elderly man, adding a light-hearted twist to the day's name. The child's laughter echoes the joyous spirit of the occasion. Two men, dressed in their Sunday best, engage in a friendly boxing match, showcasing the physical aspect of the day. The playful nature of their bout is evident in their expressions and body language, highlighting the camaraderie and fun that Boxing Day brings. Amidst the cheerful chaos, notices for coaches to Box Hill adorn the walls, inviting the viewer to join in on the popular Boxing Day excursion. Boxes, symbolizing gifts, are carried on the shoulders of men, while others are stacked high, awaiting distribution. Cruikshank's masterful use of puns is evident in this charming scene. The day's name, Boxing Day, is a play on words, with the double meaning of 'boxing' as both a verb and a noun. The boxes carried on shoulders and the boxing match further emphasize this clever wordplay. This print, with its historical significance and delightful puns, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Boxing Day traditions and customs, making it a must-have for any collection of holiday art or social history.
