This decorative initial was used as a drop cap (dropped capital) for the word Christmas starting an 1870 article entitled “Christmas with the Poets”.

Drop caps bring attention to the start of a new section or chapter, and help people find their way by flipping through the pages of a printed book.

Print jargon: this initial is foliated and vignetted
