Cats on a Roof - I've the Fatal Gift of Beauty,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1913 This delightful comic postcard from the early 1910s captures the playful and whimsical spirit of the era. The image features a group of cats gathered on the roof of a quaint, red-roofed house, each one more charming and attractive than the last. In the foreground, a young girl in a frilly dress and a bow in her hair looks up at the felines, her hands held out in a gesture of surrender. Two boys, dressed in shorts and caps, stand nearby, looking on in amusement. The cats, with their expressive faces and mischievous grins, seem to be holding a secret meeting on the chimney. One cat wears a ribbon in its collar, another has a bow tied around its neck, while a third looks on with a sly, knowing expression. The caption above the scene reads, "I've the Fatal Gift of Beauty," a nod to the irresistible allure of these feline friends. This charming postcard, with its black and white illustration and humorous caption, would have been the perfect way to add a touch of fun and lightheartedness to a letter or postcard exchange between friends or family members over a century ago. The image of cats on a roof continues to be a popular motif in art and culture, and this vintage postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of these curious and captivating creatures.
