EDITORS COMMENTS
Singing Angel, 1910 This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases a singing angel, a cherished Christmas custom that has spanned generations. The ethereal figure, dressed in a flowing white gown and adorned with golden wings, holds a book in one hand and extends the other in a graceful gesture, as if inviting listeners to join in the melodic chorus of the holiday season. The singing angel, a popular decorative element during Christmas celebrations, originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. These angels were often made from wax, wood, or paper, and their voices were created by filling them with sand or small pebbles that rattled when shaken. As the centuries passed, the tradition evolved, and singing angels began to be crafted from more durable materials, such as porcelain and glass. The angel in this photograph, however, is a masterpiece of early 20th-century photography. The artist, unknown to us, expertly captured the delicate beauty and otherworldly quality of the singing angel, creating an image that continues to enchant and inspire. The warm, golden glow of the light illuminating the angel's face and wings adds to the angel's otherworldly aura, transporting us to a time when the magic of Christmas was a simple, heartfelt celebration. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring power of tradition and the beauty of the past. The singing angel, with her hauntingly beautiful voice and serene expression, continues to be a symbol of the hope, joy, and wonder of the holiday season.
