EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian England with this charming and delightful image of a mother guinea-pig preparing a festive meal for her four adorable young ones. Dressed in winter finery, the mother guinea-pig sets the table with care, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere for the family dining experience. The scene exudes a sense of happiness and warmth, reminiscent of the joy and togetherness that comes with the holiday season. This sweet and anthropomorphic illustration, circa 1890, is a beautiful example of the playful and imaginative nature of Victorian-era greeting cards. The use of anthropomorphism, where animals are given human characteristics and behaviors, was a popular trend during this time, adding an extra layer of charm and appeal to these cards. The intricate details of the mother guinea-pig's apron, the young pigs' curious expressions, and the festive table setting all come together to create a scene that is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a wonderful reminder of the simple joys and pleasures of the late Victorian period and the magical world of imagination that it brought to life. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all!
