02 December
Our latest image library showcase brings some festive cheer this chilly December.
From rosy-cheeked Victorian children in classic snowy scenes to dramatic early photographs of trains battling through snowdrifts, the ghost of Christmas past is brought into the present.
A classic marketing poster suggests Christmas pudding ingredients from the length and breadth of the then empire, including sultanas from Australia, minced apple from Canada and beef suet from the United Kingdom.
You can find more documents and images in our showcase, as well as information on how to purchase images. To find out about licensing images to use commercially, or to suggest topics for future showcases, please email licensing@nationalarchives.gov.uk.
