EDITORS COMMENTS
Admiring the Goose (A small girl admires the goose and looks forward to her Christmas dinner) This photograph, taken circa 1890, captures the essence of the anticipation and excitement that surrounded the Christmas season during the late 19th century. The image features a young girl, dressed in her Sunday best, standing before a beautifully presented goose on a table. The goose, adorned with intricate carvings and garnishes, is the centerpiece of the holiday feast that lies in wait. The girl's expression is one of wonder and delight as she gazes at the bird, her eyes wide with curiosity and perhaps a touch of apprehension. She is fully immersed in the traditions and customs of the season, a time when families gathered to celebrate the joy of the holidays and the blessings of the harvest. The historical context of this photograph is significant, as it provides a glimpse into the past and the role that food played in shaping holiday celebrations. Geese were a popular choice for Christmas dinners during this time period, as they were considered a luxury item and a symbol of abundance and prosperity. The preparation of the goose was a labor-intensive process, and the resulting feast was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the family. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that continue to shape our holiday celebrations today. It invites us to reflect on the importance of family, community, and the simple pleasures of the season, as we gather around the table to share a meal and create memories that will last a lifetime.
