EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Old Christmas Festivities" takes us back in time to the joyous celebrations of Christmastide in England. The print, created by James Stephanoff and based on William Sandys' book, beautifully captures the essence of traditional English customs and amusements during this festive season. In the foreground, we see a lively scene filled with dancing couples under a ceiling adorned with mistletoe. The air is filled with music as musicians play traditional tunes that inspire merriment and cheer. The room is decorated with an elaborately adorned Christmas tree, symbolizing the German influence on English traditions. The image transports us to a bygone era where people gathered together to partake in joyful festivities. It showcases the rich cultural exchange between England and Germany during this period, highlighting how traditions were shared and adapted across Europe. One cannot help but be drawn into this enchanting world of old-fashioned pleasures – from dancing to drinking – all enjoyed amidst barrels of beer that add an element of conviviality to the scene. This lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring charm and magic of Christmas celebrations throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cherished customs while embracing new influences that enrich our holiday traditions.
