EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, where an enchanting dinner party unfolds among a delightful company of feline friends. This charming image, taken from an antique Christmas card, captures the whimsical and anthropomorphic spirit of the holiday season. The cats, dressed in their finest holiday attire, gather around a beautifully set table adorned with a crisp, white tablecloth and festive red and green aprons. The cats' collars are adorned with ribbons and bows, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The cats sit at the table, some with plates of pudding and fish before them, while others seem to be helping out in the kitchen. A sack of apples and a wooden serving tray are nearby, suggesting that more dishes are yet to be prepared. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with the cats' contented expressions and the cozy, rustic setting. The room is filled with the aroma of cooking food, and the cats seem to be enjoying every moment of the festive occasion. The ceiling is adorned with holly and mistletoe, adding to the holiday spirit. The cats seem to be in a jovial mood, with some even sharing a bottle of champagne and a few playfully batting at hanging mice toys. This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the past, where animals were often humanized and anthropomorphized in art and literature. It's a reminder of the enduring charm and magic of the holiday season, no matter the era.
