EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the magic of a Victorian Christmas as depicted in this stunning series of silhouettes by renowned artist H. L. Oakley. Dated 1939, these captivating images transport us to a bygone era, filled with tradition and festivity. The first scene showcases a group of merrymakers gathered around a table at a cozy pub or inn, raising a glass in cheer. The warm glow of the fireplace illuminates their faces, creating a sense of camaraderie and merriment. In the next silhouette, we see a lively hunting scene, with hunters on horseback in pursuit of their quarry, their silhouetted forms stark against the winter sky. The crisp air, the sound of hooves on the frozen ground, and the scent of woodsmoke in the air all speak to the raw beauty and excitement of the season. The third scene captures the elegance and romance of travel during the Victorian era, with a beautifully appointed stagecoach making its way through the snow-covered countryside. The passengers inside, bundled up against the cold, gaze out at the passing landscape with wonder and anticipation. Finally, we come to the most iconic image of all - a traditional Victorian Christmas scene, complete with a beautifully decorated house, twinkling Christmas lights, and a horse-drawn carriage laden with presents. The silhouetted figures inside the house, busy at work preparing the holiday feast, add a touch of warmth and coziness to the scene. These exquisite silhouettes by H. L. Oakley offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of the season were cherished and celebrated.
