EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1933: A Playful Scene of Unlikely Friends at the Pool This delightful illustration, reminiscent of the whimsical charm of the 1930s, depicts an enchanting moment at the poolside. A hippopotamus, disregarding the "No Bathing" sign, enjoys a leisurely swim in the cool waters. The serene scene is interrupted by a small mouse, who, with a line in hand, expresses concern for the hippo's well-being, fearing he might be drowning. The elephant, pig, and rabbit, dressed in human-like clothing, observe the scene with amusement and curiosity. The elephant, with its long trunk, reaches out to touch the water, while the pig and rabbit share a light-hearted conversation. This charming illustration, likely taken from an old children's book, showcases the innocence and imagination of the 1930s. The anthropomorphic animals, with their endearing expressions and human-like behaviors, invite us to imagine a world where animals and humans coexist in harmony, sharing moments of joy and companionship. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this illustration transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a bygone era. This image, with its timeless appeal, is a reminder of the power of imagination and the beauty of friendship, no matter how unlikely it may seem.
