Framed Print of Christmas Marketing, 1873. Creator: Joseph Swain
Christmas Marketing, 1873. The bustle of laying in the required stock of kitchen, cellar, and cupboard stores for the convivial comforts of jolly old Christmas is the occasion of much pleasant excitement in a middle-class household, where the mistress is not above going herself to market, and willing to let her children go with her. It may possibly happen, too, that the husband and father can spare an hour of his working day to accompany the wife of his youth upon this agreeable errand, in which she is likely to find good cause for levying upon his ready purse a few shillings of extra taxation...The grocer and the poulterer now assure her that everything is very scarce and dear; but it is only for once in the year she is called upon to indulge in this particular display of culinary extravagance...It is Christmas-time, just now, and the quarterly and the annual bills are lying ready in the desks of his legitimate creditors, to be let fly at his devoted head in the first week of the New Year. But let him thank God if he has wherewith to pay, and attend his wife's Christmas marketing with a cheerful heart'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
