A Page for the Children - The Old Fashioned Tale of Dame Wiggin of Lee,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting illustration from the 1890 edition of "The Graphic," a popular British illustrated weekly newspaper. The image tells the story of Dame Wiggin of Lee and her seven wonderful cats, a beloved nursery rhyme and comic strip from the Victorian era. The scene unfolds in a quaint, idyllic village setting, with Dame Wiggin, an elderly woman dressed in traditional British attire, sitting on a wooden chair in her cozy cottage. Surrounded by her seven feline companions, each with distinct personalities and expressions, she reads aloud from a large, open book. The cats, with their anthropomorphic features, listen intently, their tails curled around them in a display of companionship and affection. The photograph, reminiscent of the 19th century, captures the essence of a simpler time, filled with humor and warmth. The anthropomorphism of the cats adds a whimsical touch to the story, making it an enduring favorite among children and adults alike. The image is a testament to the power of storytelling and the bond between humans and animals, a theme that continues to resonate with audiences today. This print, from the collection of "The Graphic," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when life was slower, and the simple joys of reading a story aloud to beloved pets were cherished moments. The unknown artist's masterful use of contrast and detail brings the characters to life, making it a must-have for any collection of historical illustrations, children's literature, or feline enthusiasts.
