EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful photograph, Humpty and Dumpty, two adorable rabbits, are seen getting ready for a Victorian fancy dress ball in 1914. Dressed in their finest humanized attire, these anthropomorphic rabbits exude an air of elegance and charm. Humpty, the larger of the two rabbits, dons a beautiful red velvet suit with gold buttons, a crisp white shirt, and a black bow tie. His outfit is completed with a top hat adorned with a golden band and a pair of polished leather shoes. His ears, which are dressed in matching red velvet, add a playful touch to his otherwise formal appearance. Dumpty, the smaller rabbit, is equally stylish in her Victorian-inspired attire. She wears a frilly white blouse with a lace collar and cuffs, a red crinoline skirt with layers of petticoats underneath, and a pair of lace pantalettes. Her hair is styled in tight curls, and she wears a delicate floral headband. A pair of black patent leather shoes and white stockings complete her outfit. The rabbits' expressive eyes and poses add to the whimsy of the scene, making it a charming and nostalgic depiction of a bygone era. The photograph, taken in 1914, offers a glimpse into the past and the fashion trends of the time, showcasing the creativity and imagination of the people who dressed up their beloved pets for special occasions. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of anthropomorphism and the joy of dressing up in fancy costumes, whether human or animal. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of the past and the timeless appeal of a fancy dress ball.
