EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolitho print from the 19th century captures a whimsical scene of puffins dining in a restaurant with penguin waiters. The anthropomorphism is delightful as these feathered creatures take on human roles, creating a humorous and imaginative tableau. The illustration comes from the book "Doctor Quack and His Comical Cures" by Ernest Nister, published in London and New York around 1896. It showcases the creativity and playfulness of the era, where animals were often depicted engaging in human activities. In this vibrant artwork, we see the puffins seated at tables adorned with elegant furnishings. The penguin waiters scurry about, attending to their avian guests with impeccable service. The colorful lithograph brings to life every detail - from the exquisite table settings to the delectable fish dishes being served. The image evokes feelings of hunger as we witness these birds indulging in their mealtime feast. It also highlights our universal need for connection and community as they gather together in this bustling restaurant setting. This print not only showcases artistic skill but also serves as a reminder that humor can be found even in unexpected places. It invites us to embrace our imagination and find joy in unlikely scenarios. Overall, this piece transports us back to a time when animal illustrations were filled with wonderment and amusement, reminding us that art has always had the power to bring smiles to our faces.
