EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful image of a young girl from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, engaged in the festive activity of trimming her Christmas scrap with a basket full of holly. Dressed in a quilted coat with fur trim, the girl's winter attire is both stylish and practical for the chilly season. She wears a red hat adorned with a white fur pom-pom, completing her winter wardrobe. The girl sits at a table, surrounded by an abundance of Christmas decorations, including various hats and boots. The room is filled with the warm glow of candles and the scent of pine and cinnamon. In her hands, she holds a basket brimming with fresh holly sprigs, ready to be used to embellish her Christmas scrap. The Victorian Christmas scrap, a popular tradition during the late 1800s, involved creating intricate designs on paper using various materials such as ribbons, feathers, and natural elements like holly and ivy. The scraps were often used to decorate the walls of homes during the holiday season. This charming photograph captures the essence of the Victorian Christmas tradition, with its focus on family, crafting, and the natural beauty of the winter season. The girl's expression of concentration and joy as she works on her scrap adds to the overall warmth and charm of the image.
