EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical postcard from the late 1890s, featuring an anthropomorphic cat donning a red jacket, white collar, and black boots, holding a bow and quiver full of arrows. The playful feline, complete with spurs on its wings, seems to embody the dangerous and unpredictable nature of love. The caption below the image, written in elegant script, reads, "It's dangerous to play with sharp weapons, and it's the same with love, when it's only pretended." This humorous and comic take on the humanized cat and the complexities of love was a popular motif during the Victorian era. The postcard, published by Thiele in Germany, adds to the collectible charm of this unique piece of history. The intricate details of the cat's attire, the quirky expression on its face, and the delicate illustration style all contribute to the enduring appeal of this vintage postcard. Whether you're a collector of antique postcards, a lover of cats, or simply appreciate the artistry and humor of the past, this Cat with Bow and Arrows postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
