EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian greeting card captures a whimsical scene of feline elegance and playfulness. In this color lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, we are transported to a time when greeting cards were treasured keepsakes. The focal point of the image is a regal cat holding a delicate parasol, shielding herself and her two adorable kittens from the sun's rays. The cat's refined posture and graceful demeanor exude sophistication, while her playful offspring add an element of youthful energy to the composition. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate ribbons adorning their collars to the carefully drawn spade-shaped patterns on their fur, each element contributes to the overall charm and appeal of this delightful artwork. This Victorian greeting card not only showcases our enduring fascination with anthropomorphism but also offers us a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of that era. It serves as a testament to both our love for cats throughout history and our appreciation for art as a means of communication. Preserved within private collections for years, this print by Bridgeman Images allows us to relish in its beauty once again. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be reminded that even in centuries past, cats have always held a special place in our hearts.
