EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Edwardian postcard captures the whimsical nature of anthropomorphism, as a dapper cat dons human clothes and accessories. The feline protagonist confidently carries a briefcase in one paw while elegantly holding a cane in the other. This delightful scene, dating back to around 1910, showcases the creativity and humor prevalent during this era. The color lithograph technique used to create this print adds vibrancy and depth to the image, emphasizing every intricate detail of the cat's attire. The cat sports a stylish top hat atop its head, further enhancing its sophisticated appearance. Its collar is neatly fastened around its neck, completing the ensemble with an air of refinement. One can't help but wonder about the story behind this peculiar portrayal – where might this fashionable feline be heading? Is it off to an important business meeting or perhaps strolling through town on leisurely business? Regardless of its destination, this endearing postcard serves as a reminder that even our beloved pets possess their own unique personalities and quirks. Preserved within a private collection and now made available through Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century artistry and imagination. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when such playful depictions brought joy to people's lives.
