Description

Vogue editors offered more than 1,100 suggestions for holiday giving in the two 1914 December issues. That count does not include the present of the unattributed December 1 cover that seems to have taken inspiration from the theme of the issue, Christmas gifts, as well as a story on decorative fowl within it. The artist has created a fantastical creature that is part woman, part peacock, and part Christmas tree. In the hand of this “bird” is a muff-wearing furry creature; on her boughs, as in the magazine’s pages, is “a treasury of gift suggestions.”
