The record gives only the title, Christmas, so this picture belongs to a long tradition of holiday imagery that photographers, engravers and illustrators took up from the mid-1800s onward. The day was slow to become widely observed in the United States, and printed stories and magazine pictures of families gathered around a decorated tree helped set the domestic look many viewers still recognize. Images like this often show evergreens, lamplight, gifts and gatherings, and they reveal as much about how people wanted to picture home and generosity as they do about the day itself.
