EDITORS COMMENTS
A Fowl Blow: Three of Five - A Humorous Victorian Era Comic Card Depicting a Mother Duck's Protective Instinct Gone Awry (circa 1890s) This charming and amusing comic card, dating back to the late Victorian era, captures a comically violent moment between a mother duck and a frog. The mother duck, with an expression of intense anger and determination, clutches an egg in her beak and charges at the unsuspecting frog, who sits calmly among the reeds and rushes. The egg, still in its fragile shell, is visibly prominent in the mother's mouth, adding to the absurdity of the scene. The vibrant colors and intricate markings on the mother duck and the frog's green, textured body bring the image to life. The card's humorous tone is further emphasized by the use of the number "Three of Five" in the title, suggesting that this is one of a series of similar comic cards. The mother duck's protective instincts have taken a dramatic turn in this scene, transforming a peaceful pond into a battleground. This historic image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a lighthearted look at the natural world and the unexpected twists that can arise from the most ordinary of situations. The mother duck's fierce attack on the frog, with her precious egg in tow, is a reminder of the powerful and sometimes comically violent instincts that drive the animal kingdom.
