Anthropomorphic Cigarette Frogs Parasol Top Hat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Edwardian postcard captures a whimsical scene of four frogs sitting on a bench, creating an anthropomorphic tableau that is both amusing and endearing. The image, dating back to around 1910, showcases the artistry of English School from the 20th century. The color lithograph print beautifully brings out the vibrant hues of this delightful composition. Each frog is portrayed with distinct personalities: one elegantly holds a parasol while puffing on a cigarette, another dons a dapper top hat adorned with flowers, and two others engage in conversation amidst blooming floral arrangements. This postcard reflects the playful spirit of its time when anthropomorphism was popular in art and literature. It transports us to an era where even amphibians could be seen enjoying leisurely activities like smoking and socializing. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every element contributes to the overall charm of the scene. From the intricate patterns on their clothing to their expressive facial expressions, these frogs come alive through their human-like gestures and interactions. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph by eDavid Pearson offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century British culture while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us that art has always been able to transcend boundaries and bring joy through its ability to capture imagination – even if it means depicting frogs as sophisticated gentlemen enjoying each other's company on a sunny day.
