EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of a late Victorian New Year's Eve celebration, as depicted in this charming and humorous postcard from the 1890s. Two anthropomorphized pigs, dressed in waiter attire, proudly carry trays laden with bottles and glasses, their curved tusks transformed into elegant handles. The boisterous spirit of the new year is captured in the jovial expressions and exaggerated poses of these humanized animals. The pigs' pink skin, rosy cheeks, and twinkling eyes add to the playful and lighthearted atmosphere. The intricate detailing of their outfits, from the crisp white shirts and black bow ties to the red waistcoats and black trousers, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. This postcard, with its delightful blend of anthropomorphism and humor, serves as a reminder of the joy and merriment that marked the turn of the century, inviting us to raise a glass and toast to the promise of a new beginning.
