Cats Emerging Envelope Escaping Ginger Kitten Kittens Markings Mice Paws Tabby
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian-era greetings card featuring an adorable scene of four playful kittens and an envelope. Dressed in their best, the kittens, with their distinctive tabby, ginger, black, and white markings, are shown pawing at the envelope as if trying to open it. The card's edge is delicately embellished with intricate floral designs and lace, adding to its antique charm. But the real surprise lies in the unexpected addition to this scene - an escaping mouse, peeking out from the bottom right corner of the card. The mouse, with its beady eyes and pointed snout, seems to be making a hasty exit, adding a touch of whimsy and humor to the otherwise sweet image. This beautiful card, with its four delightful kittens and the sneaky mouse, is a testament to the enduring appeal of animals in Victorian-era art. The card's age, estimated to be from the 1890s, only adds to its allure, making it a must-have for any vintage greetings card or animal lover's collection.
