Christmas in the Country print, 18th-century engraving, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, accession number 1975-286

This print was drawn by an artist named Collings, engraved by Barlow, and published by Bentley & Co. of London, England in 1791. Note the simple decorations of holly sprigs in the windows and a bunch of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling, which a couple puts to good use.
