Anthropomorphism Blood Bulldog Bulldogs Chin Chinstrap Human Humanised Peaked Salvation Scrap Strap
EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian-era scrap, titled "Blood and Fire, Salvation Army Bulldog," showcases an anthropomorphized bulldog donning a distinctive Salvation Army uniform. Dating back to the late 19th century, this charming image is a testament to the creative use of anthropomorphism during this period. The bulldog's expressive face, with its wrinkled brow and determined chin, is accentuated by the red cap adorned with the Salvation Army's iconic shield and the chinstrap, adding a sense of authority and dedication to the cause. The bulldog's peaked jacket, complete with brass buttons and red trim, further humanizes the animal, making it an endearing representation of the Salvation Army's spirit. The background of the print is filled with intricate, swirling patterns of red, fire, and blood, symbolizing the passion and intensity of the Salvation Army's mission. The use of these bold colors and dynamic design elements adds a sense of energy and excitement to the image, making it a visually striking and memorable piece. This scrap, with its unique combination of anthropomorphism, humanized animals, and intricate design, offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative and imaginative world of Victorian-era visual culture. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of anthropomorphized animals and the powerful impact they can have on our emotions and perceptions.
