Old Christmas: from the Sketch Book of Washington Irving

FIFTH EDITION

The old family mansion, partly thrown in deep shadow, and partly lit up by the cold moonshine — Frontispiece.
London. Macmillan & Co 1886


Before the remembrance of the good old times, so fast passing, should have entirely passed away, the present artist, R. Caldecott, and engraver, James D. Cooper, planned to illustrate Washington Irving's Old Christmas in this manner. Their primary idea was to carry out the principle of the Sketch Book, by incorporating the designs with the text. Throughout they have worked together and con amore . With what success the public must decide.
November 1875.
