Caldecott frequently contributed to the Graphic especially for the December and Christmas editions. Evident in this illustration, Caldecott was proficient in making ample use of white space in a drawing. This busy image depicts a large crowd, each with unique facial expressions, seemingly portraying a story of their own. The central focus depicts a man actively beating a drum and blowing a trumpet seemingly declaring that Christmas has come.
