Title: Albion, 1887 [Go to resource]
Description: The title of this tin is rather odd, as the theme is clearly Christmas. The images exemplify the growing Victorian sense of Christmas as, not so much a religious festival, but rather as a celebration of good cheer and homeliness. Dickens published 'Christmas Carol' in 1843 and the first Christmas cards were produced in the 1860s. 'Albion' reflects this trend towards a sentimental secularized attitude towards Christmas that has triumphed in the consumer culture of the 21st century.
