EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year: Three Enchanting Stanzas from George Wither's "A Christmas Carol" (1622), Illustrated by Claud Lovat Fraser (1921) Step back in time with this elegant Christmas card from the 1920s, featuring three captivating stanzas from George Wither's timeless poem "A Christmas Carol," published in 1622. The card's vintage charm transports us to a bygone era, inviting us to savor the simple joys of the season. George Wither (1588-1667), an English poet and Puritan divine, penned "A Christmas Carol" during the early 17th century. This lengthy poem, filled with religious and moral themes, was an instant hit and has remained a cherished part of the Christmas tradition ever since. The excerpted verses on this card capture the essence of Wither's work, with its evocative language and enduring message of hope and joy. The stunning illustration gracing the front of the card is the work of Claud Lovat Fraser (1862-1932), a renowned Scottish artist known for his evocative watercolors and illustrations. Fraser's intricate, detailed style perfectly complements the richness of Wither's words, creating a visual and literary feast for the senses. As you hold this beautiful card in your hands, take a moment to reflect on the enduring power of poetry and art to transport us through time and touch our hearts. May the magic of the holiday season fill your home and your heart with love, joy, and peace. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
