EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "New Year Foundling," captures the historical custom of personifying the old and new years as infants. The photograph, taken in 1894, depicts the Old Year as a weary, disheveled figure, cradling an infant New Year in his arms. The New Year, represented as a clean and innocent newborn, gazes up at the Old Year with a look of anticipation and hope. The custom of representing the New Year as a foundling, or an abandoned infant, dates back to ancient Rome. The Romans believed that the old year was a tired and worn-out god, who was replaced each year by a new and vigorous one. The image of the New Year as a foundling symbolized the idea of renewal and rebirth. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the rich cultural traditions surrounding the New Year. It also highlights the importance of the imagery of the New Year as a time of renewal and fresh starts. The Old Year, with his weary and haggard appearance, represents the end of the old and the beginning of the new. The New Year, represented as a clean and innocent infant, symbolizes the hope and promise of a new beginning. The image also serves as a reminder of the cyclical nature of time and the importance of letting go of the past and embracing the future. The photograph's haunting beauty and historical significance make it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of New Year's customs and traditions.
