EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image, capturing the whimsical world of two frogs in a serene lily pond. Dating back to the 1890s, this humanised, anthropomorphic depiction of these amphibian friends is a delightful example of the comic and humorous illustrations popular during the era. The frogs, one green and the other pink, are shown sitting on a lily pad, their expressions hinting at a lighthearted conversation between them. One frog wears a striped shirt and a bow tie, while the other dons a red cap and a collar, adding to the playful and comical touch. The lily pond, adorned with white and pink lilies, is a picture of tranquility and beauty. The water's surface is calm and still, reflecting the vibrant colors of the flowers and the surrounding greenery. The frogs' reflection can be seen in the water, adding an extra layer of detail to the scene. The postcard's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its intricate border and delicate typography. The image invites us to imagine a simpler time, where the world moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature could bring joy and laughter. This postcard is a wonderful keepsake, a reminder of the enduring appeal of nature and the power of a good laugh. It is a testament to the timeless beauty and charm of the natural world and the human imagination.
