EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of a black cat and kitten enjoying a delightful Christmas feast. Dated circa 1890s, this charming photograph captures the playful and affectionate bond between these two adorable felines. The cat, with its sleek, glossy coat and piercing eyes, sits elegantly at the table, donning a red ribbon around its neck. The kitten, with its curious and mischievous expression, peeks over its paw, reaching out for a taste of the pudding on the plate before it. The scene is set with a festive table adorned with holly and other seasonal decorations. A knife and fork lie nearby, hinting at the human influence on this anthropomorphic depiction of animals. The cats seem to have taken on a human-like quality, adding to the whimsical and endearing nature of the photograph. The pudding, a sweet and savory treat, adds an element of indulgence and joy to the scene. The cats' expressions and body language suggest that they are relishing every bite. This image is a beautiful example of the humanization of animals during the late Victorian era, a time when anthropomorphism was popular in art and literature. The cutout Christmas card design adds to the vintage feel of the photograph, making it a charming and unique addition to any holiday collection. This image is not only a delightful representation of the Christmas spirit but also a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the late 1800s.
