EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of a turn-of-the-century French April Fool's Day postcard, where the lines between reality and playful folly blur. This charming vintage print captures the moment of surprise and delight as a frog, dressed in a dapper cap and holding a fishing rod, is reeled in by an unsuspecting mackerel. The anthropomorphic frog, with his expressive eyes and humanized features, gazes up at his captor with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The lily pads and lilies in the foreground add a touch of serenity to the scene, while the vibrant green hues and intricate details bring the watery world to life. The comic verse at the bottom of the card reads, "Ah, l'April fool! Le poisson m'a pris la place!" translating to "Ah, April Fool! The fish took my place!" This humorous verse adds to the lighthearted spirit of the postcard, making it a delightful find for collectors of vintage postcards, humor, or anyone looking to add a touch of whimsy to their day.
