EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Heartwarming Scene of Childhood Wonder and Holiday Magic from the Late 19th Century In this charming and nostalgic photograph, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century, where the magic of Christmas and the excitement of a new year came alive through the innocent eyes of children. The scene unfolds around a cozy Victorian fireplace, adorned with holly and ivy, as four delightful children huddle around it, gazing in awe at the sight before them. The fireplace, a symbol of warmth and comfort, crackles with the gentle glow of a cheerful fire. The children, bundled up in their winter clothing, are captivated by the sight of Santa Claus, who has mysteriously appeared in the fireplace. With wide-eyed wonder, they point and giggle, their faces filled with joy and amazement. The father, seated in a nearby chair, watches over his children with a proud and contented expression, a bowler hat resting on the floor beside him. A Christmas card lies open on the mantelpiece, adding to the festive atmosphere. The scene exudes a sense of happiness, love, and togetherness, as the family celebrates the holiday season and looks forward to the promise of a bright new year. This beautiful photograph, from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful reminder of the simple joys and enduring memories of childhood Christmases past. It invites us to pause and appreciate the magic of the season, as we too, share in the wonder of a merry Christmas and a bright new year.
