EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delightful Menagerie of Animals at Humpty and Dumpty's Fancy Dress Ball in 1914: A Captivating Snapshot of Anthropomorphic History Step back in time to a bygone era and join us for a splendid soiree at Humpty and Dumpty's grand Fancy Dress Ball in 1914. This enchanting photograph, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a charming glimpse into a world where animals donned human attire and danced the night away in the most elegant of settings. Tabitha the cat, with her fiery red riding hood, graces us with her presence as the captivating Red Riding Hood. Forager the dog, clad in a hunting costume, is a dapper gentleman ready for a day in the woods. Hungry Peter the pig, transformed into the Fat Boy from Charles Dickens' Pickwick, is a jolly sight to behold. Rags the dog, dressed as a Horsey Gentleman, exudes an air of sophistication and charm. The Quack family, a lively bunch of ducks, bring a playful touch to the evening as they don Eton schoolboy uniforms. Pavlova, the Russian ballerina, adds an exotic and elegant flair to the party in her beautiful costume. And, of course, our gracious hosts, Humpty and Dumpty, are resplendent in their Victorian finery, welcoming their animal guests with open arms. This delightful photograph is a testament to the power of anthropomorphism, a literary and artistic device that humanizes animals and imbues them with emotions, thoughts, and personalities. It offers a captivating snapshot of history, transporting us to a time when the impossible seemed possible, and animals could dance the night away at a fancy dress ball.
