EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming vintage print, we are transported back to the 19th century, where an old lady finds herself in a comical predicament. As she dozes off in her chair, her mischievous cat takes full advantage of the situation and seizes the opportunity to steal her breakfast. The scene is beautifully captured by renowned artist Randolph Caldecott in his Second Collection of Pictures and Songs. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia as it showcases not only the everyday life of working-class individuals but also their relationship with their beloved pets. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Caldecott's pen, from the intricate patterns on the animal food bowl to the authentic depiction of 18th-century style. This delightful artwork reminds us that even amidst our daily routines, there can be moments filled with humor and unexpected surprises. It invites us to appreciate those small joys that often go unnoticed in our fast-paced lives. Printed by E. Evans and published by George Routledge & Sons, this timeless piece captures a slice of history while evoking emotions that transcend time. Whether displayed as part of a collection or enjoyed individually, this print brings warmth and whimsy into any space it graces.
