🎆 Happy New Year 🎆
On New Year's Eve of 1853 Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins invited 21 eminent people to an eight course banquet inside the body of his iguanodon at Crystal Palace. Here is a contemporary illustration and a scale model of the same beast from our own collection.
The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, & Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to do us sinners good. The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, & Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn. A wood block print Gerard’s Herbal, 1597, digitally coloured.
Father Christmas, Punch Magazine, 1880
The British have been personifying Christmas as an old man since at least the 15th C, though it was not until the 19th C that Father Christmas coalesced with the American Santa Claus, who had his roots in much earlier European traditions.
Drink & be merry! Ivy was one of the symbols & adornments of the Greek god Dionysus, & his Roman successor Bachus, the Ancient gods of wine and festivity.
