EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical holiday card from the late 1890s. The image features a delightful scene of kittens and puppies playfully peeking out from the cut-out shapes of a wooden crate or box. The kittens, with their tabby coats and bright, curious eyes, are perched atop the box, while the puppies, with their floppy ears and wagging tails, are nestled inside. The card's design is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with its intricate details and use of natural materials, such as the straw and brown and white colors. The wordplay and verbal pun in this card add an extra layer of delight. The kittens and puppies are not only adorable subjects, but their presence in the box also brings to mind the popular phrase "kitten in a corner" or "puppy in a crate," which suggests a sense of contentment and happiness. The box-shaped card itself adds to the playful nature of the design, as it mimics the shape of a real crate or box. This card is a lovely reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the enduring appeal of animals, particularly kittens and puppies. It is a charming and nostalgic piece that would make a wonderful addition to any holiday card collection or display.
