EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming postcard featuring five anthropomorphic frogs, each proudly holding a pipe and a walking stick. Dressed in mottled green and yellow jackets, these jovial amphibians exude a sense of comic humor and human-like charm. The frogs' expressive faces and playful poses add to the overall delight of this intriguing image. The frogs' pipe and walking stick accessories are reminiscent of the Victorian era's fascination with anthropomorphism, the attribution of human qualities and behaviors to non-human beings. This trend extended to various forms of art and entertainment, including postcards, which often featured animals and other creatures depicted in human situations. The frogs' pipes suggest a connection to the popular pastime of smoking tobacco, which was a common practice during the Victorian era. Walking sticks, on the other hand, were essential accessories for the elderly and those with mobility issues, making the frogs' use of them all the more endearing. The intricate pattern on the postcard's background adds to the overall visual appeal of the image, making it a delightful addition to any vintage postcard collection. This unique and humorous postcard is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the late Victorian era and is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer.
