Celebrating the Arrival of the New Year in an Unusual Way: A Bizarre 1907 German New Year's Card Featuring a Frog Firing a Cannon Step into the whimsical world of early 20th century German New Year's cards with this wonderfully odd illustration of a frog ringing in the arrival of 1907. The frog, dressed in a festive hat and holding a lucky four-leafed clover, stands proudly on a toadstool, ready to fire off a cannon mounted on toadstool wheels. The cannon, complete with a trail of smoke, adds an unexpected touch of artillery to this humorous scene. The frog's legs are spread wide, adding to the anthropomorphic qualities of this unusual character, as he prepares to welcome in the new year with a bang. The image exudes a sense of happiness and joy, reflecting the excitement and anticipation of a new year. Despite its quirky appearance, this card is a testament to the creative and imaginative spirit of the time. The use of anthropomorphic animals and unusual objects in New Year's cards was a popular trend during the early 1900s, and this card is a prime example of the genre. The illustration is a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of New Year's celebrations, and the unique way in which different communities around the world have celebrated the arrival of a new year throughout history. This card is sure to bring a smile to your face and add a touch of whimsy to your collection of vintage New Year's cards.
