Good Morning - A Feline's Delight in Late Victorian Luxury
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image, capturing a moment of pure relaxation and indulgence between a ginger cat and its human companion. The scene takes place in a cozy Dutch bedroom, where the cat, with its expressive eyes and elegant posture, is enjoying a leisurely breakfast in bed. The cat's breakfast spread includes two delicate porcelain cups filled with steaming milk, a sign of the pampered lifestyle of the era. The cat's paw reaches out to grasp one of the cups, while its other paw rests on a lacy pillow, adding a touch of anthropomorphism to the scene. The human presence is suggested by the bed's plush pillows, a vase of flowers on the windowsill, and the open window, allowing a peek into the sunlit room. The curtains billow gently in the breeze, adding a sense of tranquility to the scene. The cat's surroundings are a testament to the luxury and comforts of the late Victorian era. The intricately patterned bedspread, the delicate porcelain cups, and the elegant vase of flowers all speak to a time when animals were often humanized and treated with the same care and attention as their human counterparts. This postcard, with its warm colors and charming subject matter, is a delightful reminder of the close bond between humans and animals, and the simple pleasures of a cozy morning in bed. Dating back to the 1890s, it offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to appreciate the beauty and grace of a feline friend enjoying a moment of indulgence.
