EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image of a cozy cat couple enjoying a leisurely morning in bed at Eastbourne, a popular seaside resort during the 1890s. The tabby tomcat, dressed in a nightshirt, and his calico queen in a nightgown, are nestled under a pile of pillows, sipping from their cups of tea or milk. The scene exudes a sense of married bliss and domestic tranquility, as the couple takes a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The use of anthropomorphism, or humanizing animals, was a common theme in Victorian art and literature, adding to the whimsical appeal of this delightful postcard. This image invites us to imagine a world where cats, too, can enjoy the restorative benefits of a jolly holiday by the sea. Eastbourne, with its picturesque coastline and soothing climate, was the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway, offering a much-needed respite from the stresses of urban life. This postcard is a delightful reminder of the enduring bond between cats and their human companions, and the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
