Under the Green-wood - A Whiskered Captain's Holiday Seduction, 1879
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of holiday traditions and the playful flirtation between the sexes during the Victorian era. The scene takes place under a lush bouquet of mistletoe, an ancient custom believed to bring good fortune and blessings upon those who kiss beneath it during the festive season. A dashing captain, with a full whiskered beard and a twinkle in his eye, attempts to coax a seasonal kiss from a coy young lady. Her reluctance, however, is not lost on the mischievous boy hiding behind the door, who peeks in on the moment with a cheeky grin. The mistletoe, with its white berries, adds a touch of winter wonder to the scene, while the holiday decorations and Victorian costumes further emphasize the festive spirit of the occasion. The captain's formal attire and the lady's elegant gown are reminiscent of the opulence and elegance of the 1870s, adding to the allure of this moment. The tradition of kissing under the mistletoe dates back to ancient times, and this photograph beautifully encapsulates the enduring charm and allure of this custom. The captain's seductive advances and the young lady's coy response, observed by the curious boy, make for a delightful tableau of love, tradition, and the spirit of Christmas. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of holiday traditions and the playful flirtation that often accompanies them.
