EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image graces the cover of The Tatler magazine's Christmas number from 1940. Amidst the backdrop of the Second World War, Father Christmas takes a momentary break from his annual toy delivery mission. Surrounded by his faithful reindeer, he poses for his photograph with a cheerful smile, his sack brimming with toys. The festive scene offers a moment of respite from the harsh realities of wartime Britain. The 1940s were marked by rationing, air raids, and uncertainty, yet the spirit of Christmas continued to thrive. This cover art, reminiscent of an Anton Delveccio painting, is a testament to the enduring power of holiday cheer and the hope it brings, even in the darkest of times.
