A wood engraving titled *Christmas in Florida* sets its holiday scene on a Florida plantation, with the caption card tagging it under African Americans, plantations, and holidays. It was published in *The Illustrated London News* on December 30, 1876, as part of the paper's seasonal coverage, when weekly illustrated papers filled their year-end issues with festive scenes. The record's details are unverified, so the image is best read as a British periodical's view of Southern life in the decade after the Civil War, when plantation settings were often romanticized for readers abroad.
