EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a whimsical scene from 1913, featuring anthropomorphic animals known as The Waits. In this festive image, young cats and a dog are seen joyfully performing Christmas carols, spreading holiday cheer to all who pass by. The artist behind this delightful creation is AE Kennedy, whose attention to detail and playful imagination bring these animal characters to life in a heartwarming way.
The expressions on the faces of the cats and dog are filled with merriment and enthusiasm as they serenade their audience with traditional Christmas songs. Each character is dressed in period-appropriate attire, adding an extra layer of nostalgia to the scene. It's clear that Kennedy put a lot of thought into each element of this picture postcard, creating a truly magical moment frozen in time.
As we gaze upon this enchanting piece from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we can't help but be transported back to a simpler time when Christmas was celebrated with music, laughter, and good company. This artwork serves as a reminder of the joy that comes from sharing traditions and spreading happiness during the holiday season.
