EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the whimsical world of a Victorian animal families game called Noah's Ark. In this particular image, we are introduced to the delightful Hippopotamus family consisting of Mr. Hippopotamus, Mrs. Hippopotamus, and their adorable Baby Hippopotamus. These charming characters are part of a set created by renowned manufacturer Thomas de la Rue, which was recently discovered in an ancient attic. Printed using the chromolithography technique popular during that era, this colorful image transports us back to the early 1900s when leisure games like Happy Families brought joy and entertainment to households. The attention to detail in both illustration and painting is evident as each hippo exudes personality while surrounded by three objects symbolizing their playful nature. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its age but also in its representation of Victorian style and design sensibilities. It serves as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship prevalent during that time period. As we admire this horizontal composition capturing an animal family within an ark-like setting, it reminds us of our fascination with nature's diverse creations. Whether you appreciate art history or simply adore animals, this enchanting print offers a glimpse into a bygone era where imagination thrived through card games like Noah's Ark – now lovingly preserved for generations to come thanks to Whiteway Fine Art Storehouse.
