EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the whimsical concept of animals resembling their owners, or vice versa. In this particular image from the 1860s, we see a woman with her pet sheep and cat, all sporting similar facial expressions and physical features. The woman's bonnet even seems to mirror the fluffy wool of the sheep.
The idea of physiognomy, or the belief that one's outward appearance reflects their inner character, was popular during this time period. This photograph plays into that notion by humorously suggesting a connection between humans and animals based on their shared traits.
Anthropomorphism is also at play here as we are invited to see these creatures through a human lens, attributing human-like qualities to them. The result is a delightful scene that blurs the lines between species and showcases the bond between humans and their animal companions.
Whether intentional or purely coincidental, the resemblance between these three beings is striking and sure to bring a smile to anyone who views it. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and our ability to find joy in unexpected places.
