EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the most unusual sight of the Whitsuntide season! This charming postcard from the 1890s captures the whimsical and humorous side of German tradition. In this quirky scene, a frog dons a regal crown and takes the reins of a coach, guided by a team of determined cockroaches. The frog, dressed in a coat and waistcoat, holds a whip to urge his insective companions forward. The coach, adorned with intricate floral designs, adds to the overall enchantment of the scene. This anthropomorphic representation of reptiles and insects was a common motif during the Whitsun celebrations, where humans and nature came together in a joyful and playful way. The use of humor and comic elements in this postcard reflects the light-hearted spirit of the occasion, making it a delightful addition to any collection of historical ephemera.
