EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a whimsical world of Victorian Christmas cheer with this charming antique print featuring a forlorn frog holding a parasol and donning a large, pink ribbon around its waist. Dated back to the 1890s, this quirky image showcases the playful use of anthropomorphism, a popular artistic trend during the era. The frog, with its expressive, sad expression, seems to be longing for the warmth of the sun on a cool, wet day. The parasol, a human accessory, is an amusing addition to the scene, adding a touch of humor and comic relief to the otherwise melancholic scene. The large, pink ribbon, tied in a neat bow, adds a feminine touch to the frog's appearance, making it all the more endearing. The lush green background, reminiscent of a tranquil riverbank, sets the perfect stage for this humorous and historical scene. The use of a parasol, a common accessory for ladies during the Victorian era, humanizes the frog, making it relatable and endearing to the viewer. The frog's necklace, a delicate and intricate design, adds to the overall charm of the print. The muted colors and intricate details are characteristic of the Victorian era, making this print a beautiful addition to any Christmas card collection. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when Christmas cards were handcrafted works of art, and a frog with a parasol and a pink ribbon could bring joy and laughter to the holiday season.
