EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting front cover illustration, taken from The Sketch Christmas Present Number of November 7, 1932, transports us back in time to a magical winter's night. The illustration, created by an unknown artist for the Import and Export section of The Sketch magazine, depicts a gracious lady in period costume, elegantly carrying a collection of gifts under the soft glow of street lamps. The snow-covered trees and cobblestone streets add to the historical charm of the scene. The 10th Christmas Present Number, published in November to prepare readers for the upcoming holiday season, was a much-anticipated issue. The illustration on the cover was a staple feature, signaling the start of the festive period. The lady's elegant attire, complete with a fur-trimmed cloak and a hat adorned with holly and ivy, exudes an air of sophistication and holiday cheer. The illustration, titled "Christmas Night," was published in The Sketch, a British weekly magazine known for its high-quality illustrations, fashion reports, and society news. The magazine was a popular import in many countries, and this cover image would have been a cherished addition to any Christmas collection. The image, which measures 21 x 15.5 cm, is a beautiful example of the historical and artistic significance of Christmas illustrations from the early 20th century. It captures the essence of the holiday season, transporting us back to a time of wonder and joy.
