EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this enchanting late Victorian New Year card, featuring a humanised cat and hare in a romantic moonlit scene. Circa 1890s, this exquisite card captures the essence of courtship and love in the twilight of the year. The cat, with its elegant bonnet and clothed attire, tenderly kneels before the graceful hare, who is adorned in a delicate dress and parasol. The gentle touch of the cat's paw on the hare's shoulder conveys a deep affection that transcends the boundaries of species. The serene atmosphere of the moonlit night is captured in intricate detail, with the full moon casting a soft glow over the scene. The couple's attire, reminiscent of the Victorian era, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the image. This romantic card, with its historical significance, serves as a reminder of the timeless nature of love and the enduring bond between two beings, be they human or animal. The use of humanised animals in Victorian art was a popular trend during this period, allowing for the exploration of human emotions and relationships through the lens of the animal kingdom. As the New Year approaches, this card offers a moment of respite from the hustle and bustle of modern life, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and depth of love and connection.
