A Happy Hippo's Delight
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming illustration from the Nister Series 172/6, British artist G.H. Thompson captures the playful and carefree nature of a hippopotamus in its natural habitat. The hippo, with its wide grin and twinkling eyes, seems to be enjoying a moment of blissful contentment as it lounges in the calm waters of a serene river. The intricate details of Thompson's artwork showcase the hippo's textured skin, the rippling water around it, and the lush vegetation that surrounds the scene. The use of warm colors and soft shading adds to the overall sense of tranquility and happiness. This postcard, part of the Nister series, was produced during the late 19th century when the popularity of illustrated postcards was on the rise. The comic style of the illustration adds a whimsical touch, making it an ideal souvenir or greeting card for friends and family. G.H. Thompson, a prolific artist, was known for his detailed and realistic illustrations of animals, particularly birds and mammals. His work was widely published in books, magazines, and postcards, making him a prominent figure in the world of natural history illustration during the Victorian era. This happy hippo, with its endearing expression and delightful surroundings, is a reminder of the simple pleasures of nature and the joy that can be found in observing the world around us.
