EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the English countryside, the festive spirit of the holiday season was in full swing as a farmer and his butcher carefully selected the perfect turkey for Christmas dinner. This charming photograph, titled "Choosing the Christmas Turkey," was captured by artists Alan Wright and Vernon Stokes around the turn of the twentieth century. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural traditions and customs of the past. The farmer, dressed in his work clothes and wearing a well-worn hat, examines the turkeys with a critical eye, while the butcher, in his white apron and holding a measuring tape, takes careful measurements. The turkeys, plump and well-fed, are displayed on a wooden table, their golden-brown feathers glistening in the soft light. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills and verdant fields stretching out in the background, dotted with farm buildings and trees. The selection of the Christmas turkey was an important ritual in rural communities, and the process was often documented in photographs. The bird was a symbol of abundance and prosperity, and choosing the right one ensured a successful and delicious meal for the family. The artists, Alan Wright and Vernon Stokes, captured the essence of this tradition, creating a timeless image that continues to evoke the spirit of the holiday season and the simple pleasures of rural life.
