EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of two adorable felines taking refuge from the rain on a classic Edwardian Christmas card. Dating back to the 1900s, this charming print captures the humanized bond between cats and their companions, as the tabby and white cats huddle together under a large, colorful umbrella. The intricate details of their wet, bedraggled fur and the droplets cascading from the umbrella add to the authenticity of the scene. The history of Christmas cards dates back to the 1840s, but the inclusion of animals, particularly cats, became popular in the late 1800s. This heartwarming scene of two kittens seeking shelter from the raining weather is a testament to the enduring appeal of these beloved creatures during the holiday season. As the snow may fall gently outside, the warmth and comfort of the indoors are emphasized by the rain-soaked scene. The cats, with their trusting eyes and content expressions, seem to convey a sense of companionship and joy that transcends time. This print is a wonderful reminder of the simple pleasures of the past and the timeless connection between humans and their feline friends.
