EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard, dated January 29, 1906, features an amusing depiction of a well-dressed feline, proudly belonging to the 'smart set.' The cat, perched confidently on a plush armchair, dons a dapper suit and a top hat, complete with a monocle and cane. Its polished shoes rest on a Persian rug, adding to the air of sophistication. The intricate detailing on the cat's attire, from the striped shirt and suspenders to the meticulously embroidered hat, is a testament to the skillful artistry of the postcard's creator. The playful caption, "One of the smart set," further emphasizes the cat's pretentious demeanor. This whimsical image, with its delightful blend of anthropomorphism and humor, offers a glimpse into the lighter side of early 20th-century culture and the enduring appeal of cats as beloved companions and objects of fascination.
