Christmas Morning 1869 - An Impression of a Middle Class Victorian Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the heartwarming scene of a Victorian family on Christmas morning in 1869. This charming illustration, drawn by C. E. Brock for The Graphic magazine's fiftieth anniversary Christmas number in 1919, captures the jolly and merry atmosphere of the season. The scene is set in a cozy, middle-class Victorian home, filled with the warmth and love of family. The father, dressed in a smart waistcoat and bowtie, reads the morning paper by the fireplace, a contented smile on his face. His wife, in a beautiful, flowing gown, looks on with pride as their children play joyfully with their new toys. The children, dressed in their finest clothes, are in a state of delight as they open their presents. The eldest boy holds a shiny new toy soldier, while his sister, with a doll in hand, looks on with admiration. Another sister plays with a doll, her face filled with joy and wonder. The family dog, curled up by the fire, adds to the sense of warmth and comfort. The room is adorned with holly and mistletoe, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Christmas tree, laden with ornaments and candles, stands proudly in the corner, its twinkling lights reflecting off the polished wooden floor. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the past, a time when families came together to celebrate the joy and magic of Christmas. It serves as a reminder of the enduring traditions and values that continue to make this season so special. C. E. Brock's illustration is a counterpart to a picture of Christmas morning in 1919, drawn by his brother, H. M. Brock. Both illustrations were created for The Graphic magazine, showcasing the artistic talent and creativity of the Brock brothers. Join us in celebrating the holiday season with this delightful and nostalgic image, a reminder of the joy and love that Christmas brings to us all.
