The image here comes from the front cover of Roses and Holly: A Gift-Book for All the Year (Edinburgh: William P. Nimmo, 1867). Our copy is inscribed “With Mr. Nimmo’s Compliments.” The preface asks readers to recall that holly — the “evergreen of happiness” — “cheers the heart through the gloom of winter.” Our wishes for all of you are warm, whatever the weather.
