How Very Rude
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and whimsical illustration from the "Mouseykins" series created by British artist Lilian Amy Govey in 1924. Published by Humphrey Milford, this postcard captures a delightful moment of anthropomorphic mice enjoying their cozy home, unaware of the mischievous cats lurking outside. The scene is set in a quaint English countryside, with the mouse family huddled together in their quaint little house, blissfully unaware of the two curious cats peering in through the window. The mother mouse is seen comforting her young ones, while the father mouse reads a book by the fireplace. The cats, on the other hand, are intrigued by the mice's domestic bliss and cannot help but stare, their expressions suggesting a hint of amusement and mischief. Despite the potential danger lurking outside, the mice remain oblivious to the cats' presence, living their peaceful lives in their cozy abode. Govey's use of color and detail in this illustration is truly captivating, with the warm tones of the interior contrasting beautifully with the cooler hues of the outdoor scene. This delightful postcard is a testament to the enduring charm of traditional children's illustration and offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time. The "Mouseykins" series, which also included other charming illustrations, was a popular choice for sending to young family members and friends during the early 20th century. Today, "How Very Rude" remains a beloved collectible and a reminder of the timeless appeal of anthropomorphic animals and their adventures.
