EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the late Victorian era with this delightful New Year card featuring a charming cat and rat, both dressed in their finest attire. Dating back to the 1890s, this antique card showcases the whimsical side of anthropomorphism, a popular artistic trend during this time. The cat, with a smug expression on its face, wears a top hat adorned with a feather and a pair of brass buttons on its chest. Its paw rests on a walking stick, adding an air of sophistication to its appearance. The rat, on the other hand, dons a red jacket, a striped shirt, and a pair of boots with tassels. He carries a musical instrument, possibly a fiddle, under his arm, ready to serenade the onlookers. The duo strolls along a winding path, surrounded by lush greenery and a quaint spire in the background. The intricate details of their clothing and accessories, as well as the beautiful illustration of the landscape, transport us back in time. This card is a testament to the playful and imaginative spirit of the late Victorian era, where animals were often depicted with human characteristics and behaviors. The use of anthropomorphism added a sense of fun and lightheartedness to everyday objects and creatures, making this card a cherished keepsake from the past. As we celebrate the beginning of a new year, let us be inspired by the joy and creativity of this beautiful card from the 1890s.
