EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Christmas Mischief: 'Fat Geese!' by Lawson Wood, 1909 In this delightfully humorous illustration by Lawson Wood, a cheeky young lad smirks to himself after placing a sign for 'fattened geese' on the ample posterior of a plump lady. The scene takes place in a bustling poultry market during the festive season, with snow falling gently outside and the aroma of roasting geese wafting through the air. The lady, engrossed in her selection of birds for her Christmas dinner, remains oblivious to the prank being played on her. The boys, clad in winter garb, find the situation ripe for mischief, and their laughter echoes through the market. The woman, with a determined expression on her face, continues her search for the perfect goose, her cheeks rosy from the cold and the excitement of the holiday preparations. This charming illustration, titled 'Fat Geese!' and dated 1909, captures the essence of Christmas merriment and the playful spirit of youth. Lawson Wood's masterful use of color and detail brings the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of holiday traditions and the timeless joy of a little harmless mischief.
