Admire Dead Feast Geese Goose Invited Michaelmas Plucked Prepared
EDITORS COMMENTS
Michaelmas Goose: A Traditional Harvest Celebration (1910) This evocative image invites us to pause and appreciate the bounty of the harvest season as depicted in this 1910 photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The centerpiece of the scene is the Michaelmas Goose, a large and proud bird that has been hunted and brought to the table for the Michaelmas feast. The people gathered around the table, dressed in their Sunday best, admire the goose with a mix of anticipation and satisfaction. Michaelmas, celebrated on September 29th, was an ancient harvest festival that marked the end of the growing season and the beginning of the winter months. The goose was a traditional dish for this celebration, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity of the harvest. The bird's plump body and gleaming feathers are a testament to the successful harvest and the hard work of the farmers and hunters. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to a simpler era when people came together to celebrate the bounty of the land. The scene is filled with the warmth of community and the richness of tradition. The goose, now dead, is a reminder of the cycle of life and the importance of cherishing the gifts of nature. The people in the photograph seem to understand the significance of the moment, their faces reflecting a deep appreciation for the food before them and the history that surrounds it. The table is set with simple yet elegant tableware, adding to the sense of occasion and the importance of the meal. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the traditions and customs that have shaped our history and continue to inspire us today. As we admire the Michaelmas Goose, we are invited to reflect on the importance of community, the bounty of the harvest, and the richness of our cultural heritage.
