A Timeless Image: Getting Rid of Old Stock by Alfred Leete - A 1920s Illustration of Father Christmas Disposing of His Excess Toys in a Tar Kettle This illustration, titled "Getting Rid of Old Stock" by Alfred Leete, dates back to December 1926. The image, published by Illustrated London News (ILN), depicts a jovial Father Christmas in the midst of disposing of his old toys in a tar kettle. The scene is a charming representation of the holiday tradition's evolution, as Father Christmas is seen managing his annual inventory. The illustration, which measures 21 x 15.5 cm, showcases Father Christmas with a determined expression as he tosses a teddy bear into the tar kettle. The bear, a symbol of the popular Teddy Bear craze that began in the early 1900s, is a testament to the changing trends in toys. The background of the illustration is filled with an array of toys, some recognizable and others obscured by the smoke rising from the tar kettle. The historical context of this image is significant, as it reflects the economic realities of the time. The 1920s were marked by a period of prosperity and consumerism, with the holiday season being a time for families to update their children's toys. This illustration captures the essence of this period, as Father Christmas prepares for the new wave of toys that will soon flood the market. Alfred Leete, a renowned British illustrator, is known for his whimsical and detailed illustrations. This particular piece, with its unique blend of humor and nostalgia, continues to captivate audiences even today. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the holiday season and the traditions that surround it.
