Most of us probably finished doing their Christmas shopping on Sunday afternoon, and now we're already onto the Boxing Day sales. The image accompanying this post does not refer to any Boxing Day shenanigans, but it is the 26th December 1953 cover of Italian magazine La Settimana Incom Illustrata.
It shows actress Lucia Bosé looking at a Christmas toy display in a window shop with the son of the family with whom she shared a flat when she moved to Rome at the end of the '40s. The image is dreamy, joyful and colourful, but it also celebrates simple things, hinting at children's hopes and wishes. It seems therefore to be the perfect image to extend the celebratory mood and get away from the post-Christmas/Boxing Day sale madness. Have a lovely day with these festive moods from 1953!
