EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print captures the essence of Christmas in 1900, as depicted in "The Illustrated Sporting News, Christmas Number". Created by renowned artist Edward Penfield, this colour lithograph showcases a delightful array of sports and festive elements. In the foreground, we see a baseball player swinging his bat with determination while a football player charges forward. A carriage drives past them, adding to the lively atmosphere. The background is adorned with wreaths and garlands that beautifully frame scenes of various sporting activities such as golfing, tennis playing, hunting, and even pole vaulting. Amidst all the action, two fire dogs stand guard near a hearth where sportsmen gather around for warmth and camaraderie. Toasts are raised to celebrate both the joyous occasion of Christmas and their shared love for sports. Edward Penfield's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of each sport portrayed. This historical gem from Heritage Images serves as a testament to both Penfield's artistic talent and an era when sports were deeply intertwined with holiday festivities. Whether you're an avid sports enthusiast or simply appreciate vintage artistry, this print offers a glimpse into early 20th-century sporting culture during Christmastime - truly encapsulating the magic of yesteryears' celebrations.
