Anthropomorphism Anticipation Arriving Cane Eager Humanised Hungry Keen Peter Spats Tabitha Visitor
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming turn-of-the-century illustration, Hungry Peter the pig makes a fashionable entrance at Tabitha the cat's home for a delightful tea party. Dressed in his best attire, including a grey coat, top hat, spats, and cane, Peter exudes an air of anticipation and eagerness as he approaches the door. The grey day outside is in stark contrast to the warm and inviting interior of Tabitha's cozy home. The anthropomorphic animals, with their human-like clothing and mannerisms, add a whimsical touch to this historical scene. The use of anthropomorphism in children's literature and illustrations was popular during this time, allowing animals to be portrayed as characters with distinct personalities and emotions. Peter's visit to Tabitha's for tea is a cherished tradition between the two friends. The image captures the excitement and joy of the moment as Peter prepares to enter the home of his beloved hostess. The stack of books on the table suggests that the two animals share a love for literature and learning, adding depth to their friendship. This enchanting illustration, dated 1914, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and adventures that unfolded between Hungry Peter the pig and Tabitha the cat. The illustration is a beautiful example of the artistic style and sensibility of the time and is a delightful addition to any collection of historical children's literature or illustrations.
