EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian-era holiday cheer with this charming image of two frogs taking a leisurely stroll under a blue parasol on a vintage Christmas card. Dating back to the 1890s, this delightful print showcases the playful use of anthropomorphism, as the frogs have been humanized with a charming sense of fashion and elegance. The frogs, dressed in their holiday best, appear to be enjoying the cool grass beneath their feet as they make their way through an idyllic winter landscape. The inclusion of a parasol adds an element of comedy and humor to the scene, as the frogs appear to be mimicking the fashionable practice of carrying parasols for sun protection, despite the wintery setting. The blue parasol, a popular color during the Victorian era, adds a splash of vibrant color to the otherwise green and brown winter scene. The intricate details of the frogs' clothing and the delicate folds of the parasol are a testament to the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This historic Christmas card is a wonderful reminder of the whimsical and imaginative spirit of the Victorian era, and a delightful addition to any holiday collection. With its charming sense of humor and playful anthropomorphism, this print is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it.
