Tudor Christmas Carol Boar's Head Wassail Cup 1888 FREE Shipping

A wonderful image of a row of Christmas Carol Singers, with music in hand and bordered by the Boar's head and the Wassail Bowl which feature as part of the Christmas feast.
In wealthy Tudor houses a wild boar would be cooked on Christmas day - slices were carved from it and served with the boars head. Revelers would drink from the wassail bowl, "wassail" meaning 'to be of good health'. The wassail bowl itself was a hearty combination of hot ale or beer and spices and mead, just alcoholic enough to warm tingling toes and fingers of the singers - a lovely period illustration...

Very Good - Some Marking
Please Note - there is a small (1/4 inch) closed tear to the left hand edge, running diagonally to the tip of the candle flame - this is barely visible.. Please be aware of this before buying This does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
