The Christmas Book (HB)

An exploration of the artistic and cultural influence of Christmas, presented through a range of beautiful and significant artworks from across the ages - the ultimate cultural companion to the festive season. Rich and evocative images of paintings, books, prints, sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and photography are thoughtfully paired to highlight similarities and contrasts between them. Essays by Sam Bilton, Dolph Gotelli and David Trigg explore traditional festive food and drink, Santa Claus throughout history, and the religious origins of Christmas.
