Pictures and credits
There are no photographs on this site.
Every picture here (the Christmas tree, the cracker, the card, the stocking, St Nicholas, Befana’s broom, the wren pole, the poinsettia, the taper, the logo, the favicon and the share image) is our own original, simplified drawing. They are not photographs or copies of real cards, objects or places, and are not traced or copied from any print, photo or book. Our card is our own design, not a copy of Horsley’s 1843 card. Only the labelled facts come from the sourced facts in each caption.
Tables are our own layouts of figures quoted from the sources listed. Useless the eraser is the network’s own mascot. Fonts: Bricolage Grotesque, Newsreader and Kalam (SIL Open Font Licence), served from this site.
