EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image of musical cats in a whimsical procession. Dating back to the 1890s, this delightful print showcases a playful group of feline friends, each one holding and skillfully playing a musical instrument. The cats, anthropomorphized in a humorous and comic way, add a touch of amusement to the scene. The cats' band includes a mandolin player and a trumpeter, both wearing elegant Victorian hats and holding their brass and stringed instruments with great concentration. The cats' humanized expressions and body language add to the comedic effect, making this postcard a true treasure of Victorian-era anthropomorphism. Surrounded by a lush garden of pink roses and other flowers, the cats seem to be performing in an enchanting outdoor setting. One cat carries a basket of roses, adding a feminine touch to the scene. The intricate details of the cats' costumes, the flowers, and the musical instruments are beautifully captured in this photograph. This postcard is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, where imagination and humor came together to create a world where cats could play music and bring joy to people. It's a charming reminder of the simple pleasures and whimsy of the late Victorian period.
