EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and heart-wrenching chromolitho print titled "Tragedy" captures the essence of a cat-themed Christmas card with a twist. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this piece is part of a private collection that showcases the intersection of art and emotion. In this scene, we see anthropomorphic kittens sitting in an opera box, adorned with their own miniature opera glasses. The British backdrop adds to the charm as these feline spectators are engrossed in what appears to be a tragic performance on stage. Their sad expressions and tear-filled eyes evoke feelings of melancholy and unhappiness. The use of anthropomorphism allows us to connect deeply with these adorable creatures who seem to experience human-like emotions. As they watch intently, their tiny paws clutching onto each other, we can't help but feel empathy for their sadness. This greetings card-turned-artwork reminds us that even animals can experience deep emotions like sorrow and despair. It serves as a poignant reminder that tragedy knows no boundaries and touches all beings alike. With its cute yet somber portrayal, "Tragedy" invites viewers into a world where cats become characters in their own theatrical production – one filled with both joyous festivities and heartbreaking moments.
