EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian greeting card transports us back to a schoolroom in the late 19th century. The color lithograph print showcases an adorable scene filled with anthropomorphic cats and kittens, all diligently engaged in their studies. The feline students are perched at wooden desks, their paws delicately holding quills as they write on parchment paper. Each desk is adorned with ribbons and bows, adding a touch of elegance to the classroom setting. Behind them stands a large blackboard covered in chalked lessons, evidence of the teacher's efforts to educate these curious creatures. The attention to detail is evident throughout the image - from the inkwells placed neatly on each desk to the stacks of books waiting to be explored by eager minds. The artist has skillfully captured both the innocence and playfulness of these furry scholars. This delightful Victorian greeting card serves as a reminder that education knows no bounds or species. It invites us into a world where even cats can partake in learning and intellectual growth. As we gaze upon this whimsical scene, we cannot help but smile at the sheer joy emanating from these diligent little students. Preserved within this private collection, this print by Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also offers insight into how our ancestors found delight in combining imagination with education during simpler times long gone by.
