Two Cats at a Window - Any Engagement Tonight? (1913)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous comic postcard that transports us back to the early 1910s, a time of innocence and playful banter. The image features two black cats perched on a windowsill, gazing out into the night with curious expressions. One cat wears a red ribbon around its neck, while the other dons a bow, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The cats seem to be engaged in a conversation, as if they are waiting for a human couple to pass by and inquire about an engagement. The caption above the window reads, "Any engagement tonight?" With their paws crossed, it appears they are keeping score of the engagements they've heard about, making this a delightful game for the cats and a fun discovery for the postcard recipient. This British postcard from 1913 is a delightful reminder of the lighthearted humor and affection for pets that has endured throughout the decades. The use of anthropomorphic elements, such as the cats' bows and ribbons, adds to the playful nature of the image and makes it a cherished keepsake for cat lovers and collectors of vintage postcards. As we gaze upon this scene, we can't help but smile at the antics of these two kitties, who seem to be as curious and mischievous as cats have always been. This postcard is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their pets, and a reminder that even a simple conversation between two cats can bring joy and amusement to our lives.
