EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and chaotic scene captured in the historic print "Mistletoe / Ally Sloper" takes us back to Christmas customs of 1888. Ally Sloper, a popular comic character of the time, invites some young ladies over to test out the mistletoe hanging in his front room. However, things take a hilarious turn when his shocked wife drops the plum pudding in surprise at the sight. The look of shock on her face is priceless as chaos ensues with decorations scattered about.
The image perfectly encapsulates the festive spirit of Christmas with its mix of tradition and humor. It offers a glimpse into Victorian era holiday celebrations and the importance placed on mistletoe as a symbol of love and romance during this time period.
As we admire this historical snapshot, we can't help but imagine ourselves in that moment, witnessing the unexpected accident unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that even in times past, mishaps and surprises were all part of the joyous season.
This delightful print from Mary Evans Prints Online is not just a piece of art; it's a window into history that brings laughter and warmth to our hearts during this special time of year.
