Christmas morn" is a color lithograph after a painting by W.C. Bauer, published in London by Raphael Tuck & Sons in the 1880s, when the firm was building its name on picture cards and seasonal prints. Tuck's chromolithographs were made in large runs and sold at modest prices, so sentimental scenes like this one reached middle-class households across Britain. The record files the image under Christmas, country life and winter, which reflects the period's taste for cozy, snow-dusted domestic scenes tied to the holiday. Chromolithography could mimic the layered texture of oil paint, giving a mass-produced print something of a handmade quality.
