The Transformed Banker Turkey - An Anthropomorphic Tale of Pride and Prosperity from the 1840s
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, presents a fascinating and whimsical depiction of an anthropomorphized turkey, proudly donning the attire of a wealthy 1840s banker. Dressed in a rich, velvet suit, complete with a top hat adorned with a plume, this humanised bird exudes an air of arrogance and self-importance. Surrounded by an abundance of gold coins and bags of money, the turkey's regal demeanor is a testament to its newfound status and wealth. The historical context of this image is intriguing, as it challenges the norms of the time by personifying an animal in the role of a human banker. This transformation, reminiscent of the works of Victorian artist J.G. Grandville, serves as a commentary on the human obsession with wealth and power. The turkey's tail feathers, cascading elegantly behind him, add to the grandeur of the scene, further emphasizing the bird's newfound pride and prosperity. Despite its playful and fantastical nature, this print also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the banking industry during the 1840s. The era was marked by significant economic growth and financial innovation, making the image of a turkey as a banker an intriguing and thought-provoking representation of the times. Overall, this print is a delightful and intriguing glimpse into the world of anthropomorphism and the human fascination with transforming animals into human-like beings.
