EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting postcard image from the 1890s, capturing a whimsical scene of felines enjoying a day at the beach. The sun-kissed sandy coast plays host to a delightful assembly of cats and kittens, each exhibiting a unique charm and character. Tabby and white felines frolic and play among the gentle waves, their paws leaving small prints in the sand. A curious kitten investigates a seashell, while an adult cat lounges in the sun, its eyes closed in contentment. The human touch is evident in the anthropomorphic details, as the cats are depicted wearing collars and one even dons a striped sweater. A man in the background, dressed in period attire, watches the scene with binoculars, adding an element of leisure and fascination to the scene. A quaint boat rests on the sand, its sails rolled up, as if waiting for its feline passengers to embark on a nautical adventure. The tranquil sea stretches out behind them, reflecting the clear blue sky above. This postcard, with its charming blend of anthropomorphism and coastal charm, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine a simpler time when cats and kittens ruled the beach.
