EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this charming New Year card featuring a frog in humanised attire, sitting at a writing desk. Dressed in a tailcoat, waistcoat, trousers, and even a collar and cuffs, this anthropomorphic amphibian dons an air of seriousness as he puts quill to paper. With a feather pen in hand and a quill in the other, he appears deep in thought, perhaps composing a New Year's resolution or penning a heartfelt message to loved ones. The frog's green skin and prominent eyes add a touch of whimsy and humor to this historical scene. His wing, peeking out from behind his back, serves as a gentle reminder of his true nature. The card's seasonal verse adds to the festive atmosphere, making it a delightful addition to any New Year's greeting. This image, circa 1890s, showcases the popularity of anthropomorphism during the Victorian era, where animals and other objects were often given human characteristics for comic or decorative purposes. The intricately detailed desk and the frog's elegant attire further emphasize the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the time. As you exchange New Year greetings with family and friends, let this card transport you back to a bygone era filled with history, humor, and a touch of the fantastical.
