EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NAST: CHRISTMAS, 1863. Scenes of Christmas during the Civil War" by Thomas Nast takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of Christmas Eve during this tumultuous time. In the midst of winter, snow blankets the ground outside as a family gathers around their hearth. A husband, recently returned from war on furlough, embraces his wife and children with joyous smiles. Their faces radiate happiness and relief at being reunited for this special occasion. The scene is filled with warmth as they bask in the glow of a crackling fireplace. The room is adorned with festive decorations and presents are scattered beneath a brilliantly decorated tree. Santa Claus himself makes an appearance, adding an element of magic to this heartwarming tableau. As we observe this mid-19th century montage, it becomes evident that even in times of conflict and uncertainty, love and tradition prevail. This image serves as a reminder that despite hardships endured during the Civil War era, families found solace in coming together to celebrate Christmas. Thomas Nast's skillful engraving transports us back to that snowy night in 1863 when hope was rekindled amidst adversity. It encapsulates both the longing for peace on earth and gratitude for cherished moments spent with loved ones during one of America's darkest periods - truly capturing the spirit of Christmas during wartime.
