EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful Victorian greeting card captures a whimsical scene of anthropomorphic cats engaging in a lively dance while two others play musical instruments. Created around 1880, this charming color lithograph showcases the creativity and imagination of the English School from the 19th century. The central focus of the image is a graceful cat elegantly dancing, its paws lifted off the ground as if floating on air. Surrounding it are two feline musicians, one playing the fiddle with great enthusiasm and skill, while another blows into a flute with precision and finesse. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to these playful characters, adding an element of joy and merriment to the overall composition. This Victorian greeting card exemplifies both artistic talent and humor, combining elements of music and dance with animal personification. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of anthropomorphic illustrations during that era. Preserved within a private collection, this image has been captured by photographer eDavid Pearson for all to appreciate. Its timeless charm continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of simpler times when greetings were conveyed through beautifully crafted cards like these.
