The Months Welcoming the Young Year,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite 1860s Victorian allegory by an unidentified artist, is a captivating illustration from the annals of history that continues to enthrall viewers with its rich symbolism and intriguing narrative. The print, available through Mary Evans Picture Library, portrays a series of months personified as regal women, each cradling a baby representing the new month, as they welcome the young year. The illustration begins with January, depicted as an elderly woman with a long cloak and a scythe, symbolizing the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. She is followed by February, a woman with a rose in her hand, representing the brief bloom of love and romance in the shortest month. March, the month of renewal, is shown as a woman with a rake and a hoe, symbolizing the reawakening of nature. The cycle continues with the figures of the remaining months, each one holding a baby and embodying the unique qualities and symbolism associated with their respective months. The illustration culminates with December, a young woman with a cornucopia, symbolizing abundance and the end of the year. This stunning allegory, with its intricate symbolism and timeless beauty, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Victorian era. The Months Welcoming the Young Year is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a reminder of the cyclical nature of time and the renewal that comes with the passing of each year. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in history, art, or the symbolism of the Victorian era.
