EDITORS COMMENTS
Celebrate the arrival of a new year with this charming and humorous Victorian-era scene of musicians serenading a house in the snow. Dressed in their winter best, with hats and coats pulled tightly around them against the cold, these jovial men play their instruments - a violin, a fiddle, and a banjo - as they gather around a lantern, ready to sing carols to the occupants of the house. A child peeks out of one of the windows, curious about the commotion outside. The musicians, in high spirits, prepare to have something poured on them from a jug, a traditional part of the New Year's Eve celebration. The snow-covered wall and the faint glow of the lanterns add to the magical and festive atmosphere of the scene. This delightful image, captured in the late 1890s, is a reminder of the enduring power of music and community to bring joy and warmth even in the coldest of winter nights.
