EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the most entertaining spectacle of the 1930s! In this delightful illustration from a children's book, circa 1933, an elephant, a pig, and a mouse engage in a playful tug-of-war with a hippo, a bear, and a rabbit. The animals, dressed in colorful clothes, stand proudly on either side of the rope, pulling with all their might. The elephants' large size contrasts sharply with the tiny mouse, while the hippo's massive form dwarfs the other participants. The bear and the rabbit, with their contrasting sizes, add to the whimsical charm of the scene. The children watching from the sidelines, with their wide-eyed expressions, reflect the joy and excitement of this lighthearted moment. This illustration, with its humanized animals, captures the spirit of camaraderie and fun that transcends the boundaries of size and species. Take a step back in time and enjoy the simple pleasures of a tug-of-war game between unlikely friends!
