EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print, we see a slightly tipsy Parson indulging in fond memories of his youth. The Victorian clergyman, with a contented smile on his face, takes us back to his student days when he was courting a young milkmaid. As he sits there, lost in thought, one can almost hear the echoes of laughter and whispers from those cherished moments. The illustration captures the essence of 19th century English Christmas traditions and customs as depicted in Washington Irving's "Old Christmas". Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott and published by Macmillan & Co in 1882, this book serves as a nostalgic memoir for Irving himself. Amidst the backdrop of flickering candlelight and crackling fireplaces, we witness the Parson's reflection on youthful love and innocent courtship. His eyes twinkle with mirth as he recalls stolen glances exchanged with the milkmaid who captured his heart all those years ago. This print not only transports us to another era but also reminds us of the universal experience of reminiscing about our past loves and adventures. It invites viewers to embrace their own nostalgia while appreciating the beauty found within historical traditions. Whitemay's artistic rendition beautifully encapsulates this sentimental moment that transcends time itself – an exquisite piece that evokes both warmth and wistfulness within its observer.
