EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical Victorian-era greetings card featuring a frog in a pipe-smoking moment of relaxation. Dating back to the 1890s, this antique print showcases the playful use of anthropomorphism, as the frog is depicted with human-like characteristics, complete with a pipe clenched between its webbed fingers. The pipe, adorned with intricate designs, adds an air of sophistication to the scene. Surrounding the frog are lush, white lilies, their elegant petals unfurling gracefully from their stems, creating a serene and picturesque waterfront setting. The frog seems to be enjoying a peaceful interlude amidst the tranquil pond, the gentle ripples of water reflecting the beauty of the scene. This delightful card is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the human connection to nature, even in the most unexpected forms. The vibrant green leaves and the rich detail of the frog's textured skin add depth and dimension to the print, making it a captivating piece of history that continues to inspire wonder and amusement. The intricate cutout design of the card adds an extra layer of visual interest, making it a unique and cherished keepsake. This vintage print is a must-have for collectors of antique greetings cards, as well as those who appreciate the artistry and whimsy of the Victorian era.
