EDITORS COMMENTS
A Victorian Christmas: Gathering Around the Tree in 1867 This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a Victorian Christmas, as a group of children excitedly gathers around a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in 1867. The image, taken by an unknown photographer and published by Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of nostalgia and wonder. The children, dressed in their finest clothing, appear to be in awe of the tree's splendor, with its lush green branches adorned with handcrafted ornaments, candles, and colorful ribbons. The scene is filled with warmth and joy, as the children eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus or the exchange of gifts. The Victorian Christmas was a time of tradition and family, with the tree serving as the centerpiece of the holiday celebration. The custom of decorating the tree with candles, fruits, and sweets dates back to the 16th century, but it wasn't until the Victorian era that the tradition became widely popular in Britain. The children's expressions of delight and curiosity in this photograph are a reminder of the magic and excitement that the Christmas season brings, a feeling that has endured through the generations. The image also serves as a testament to the power of tradition and the importance of family and community during the holiday season. As we admire this beautiful photograph, we are reminded of the rich history and customs that surround the Christmas tree and the joy it brings to families and communities around the world.
