Christmas in Hague

Saskatchewan Archives Board S-B7285

This photograph of Nick Lazarowich of Hague ca. 1904 or 1905 was obviously taken during the holiday season. Mr. Lazarowich is dressed quite nicely for the portrait and is posing next to an interesting little Christmas tree, set on a table in what appears to be a sitting room. The small tree has been decorated, and has a toy lion and a tiger sitting at its base. The setting is simple, yet festive – a reminder of the simplicity of Christmas celebrations in this era.

The simplicity is nostalgic , it leaves the focus on the young man.
