EDITORS COMMENTS
George Henry Thompson's whimsical illustration of a contented feline, titled "Happy Cat," is a delightful example of the artist's unique ability to anthropomorphize animals in a humorous and endearing way. Thompson, born in 1859, was a versatile artist known for his landscapes as well as his illustrations of animals with human-like expressions and behaviors. This charming image of a cat, with its wide grin and playful pose, is reminiscent of the joy and lightheartedness often found in Thompson's work. The "Happy Cat" was first published in books and postcards by Ernest Nister around the year 1904. Nister was a renowned publisher of children's books and prints, and Thompson's illustrations were a popular addition to his collection. This particular image of a happy cat, with its expressive face and engaging personality, would have brought joy and amusement to children and adults alike. Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human characteristics and emotions to non-human beings, is a common theme in Thompson's illustrations. By giving animals human-like expressions and behaviors, Thompson was able to create a connection between the viewer and the subject, inviting us to see the world from a new perspective. The result is a collection of images that are not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking and imaginative. Thompson's "Happy Cat" is a testament to the power of art to bring happiness and delight. With its cheerful expression and playful demeanor, this image continues to capture the hearts of viewers more than a century after it was first created. Whether hung on a wall or tucked into a book, Thompson's "Happy Cat" is a reminder that even the smallest creatures can bring big smiles to our faces.
