EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming New Year card featuring a frog and a duck egg. Dating back to the 1890s, this print showcases the playful and humorous side of nature through anthropomorphism, a popular artistic technique of the time. The frog, with his mischievous grin and humanized features, is depicted in a jovial mood as he jumps in excitement, ready to welcome the New Year. In his hand, he holds a small, intricately detailed duck egg, its delicate blue and brown speckled shell adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The duck egg, a symbol of new beginnings and renewal, rests on a bed of lush greenery, adding to the overall sense of jollification and fun. This comic and humorous card reflects the spirit of enjoyment and playfulness that characterized the late Victorian era. The frog and duck egg motif was a common theme during this time, often used to bring a smile to the faces of those receiving the cards. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print transport us back to a time when the simple pleasures of life were celebrated and cherished. As we look at this beautiful and historic card, we are reminded of the enduring power of humor and the importance of finding joy in the everyday. So, let us follow the example of our frog friend and jump into the New Year with a heart full of excitement and a smile on our faces.
