The tree, a true marvel of the Victorian era, was a testament to the extravagance and joy of the holiday season. The general design of this colossal tree was overseen by the skilled hands of Mr. Hurwitz. Adorned with a dazzling array of ornaments and nicknacks, each one adding to the tree's enchanting allure, the tree was a sight to behold. The branches were laden with an exquisite collection of large and small elegant Chinese lamps, casting a warm and inviting glow over the surrounding area.

This international display reflected the diverse and inclusive spirit of the holiday season, bringing together people from all walks of life in celebration.
