EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and charming print captures the essence of the festive season with its lively and whimsical tableau featuring a stuffed nut munching squirrel. The squirrel, with its tufted ears and bright, alert eyes, is the perfect embodiment of the playful and mischievous spirit of the holiday season. Surrounding the squirrel is a beautiful winter scene, complete with holly berries, ivy, a fir tree adorned with twinkling lights, and a traditional yule log burning brightly in the hearth. The history of the nutcracker squirrel as a festive decoration can be traced back to the 16th century in Europe, where nutcrackers were often carved in the shape of soldiers or animals and used to crack nuts during the winter months. Over time, these nutcrackers evolved into decorative figurines, and the squirrel became a popular choice due to its association with the winter season and its natural habitat in forests. This particular print, with its kitschy and nostalgic aesthetic, transports us back to the 1960s, a time when such decorations were commonplace in homes during the holiday season. The use of taxidermy in the creation of the squirrel adds an element of authenticity and historical interest to the piece, making it a unique and intriguing addition to any festive display. The combination of the nutty squirrel, the lush greenery of the ivy and fir tree, and the warm glow of the yule log creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere, evoking the taste and customs of the holiday season. This print is not only a beautiful and festive addition to any home, but also a fascinating glimpse into the history and traditions of Christmas decor.
