Cherish Me Always: Images of Christmas Past (Cherish Me Always)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
People of all ages and interests will love this book! The children steal the show in this rich selection of 190 vintage photographs documenting how children have celebrated Christmas from 1870 through the 1950s. The venerable Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle and Pere Noel shown in these photographs have all evolved into the American figure of our jolly Santa Claus. Some photographs record elaborately decorated trees that touch the ceilings of fancy Victorian parlors, branches smothered in tinsel, blown glass ornaments and a medley of antique toys. Other photographs document the more humble surroundings of pioneer kitchens with tabletop trees lovingly decorated with handmade ornaments of cranberries, cookies or gilded nuts. This book is sure to become a warm friend that will bring a smile to your heart every time that you open it. 190 Color photos.
