Titled simply "Christmas," this picture takes the holiday itself as its subject rather than a particular place or person. Many images of the season from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries helped define the domestic scenes still familiar today: decorated evergreen trees, hung stockings, and families gathered together, often shown in illustrated magazines and greeting cards. Pictures like this one served as reminders of home and goodwill, and they are worth studying for the props and customs they preserve.
