Humans Rabbit Rabbits Stoke Stoking Stove
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming and whimsical image from the early 1930s, a hansomely dressed rabbit can be seen diligently adding more wood to the stove. The rabbit's attire, complete with a waistcoat and bow tie, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The stove, with its ornate design and intricate details, is a clear indication of the era's emphasis on home comfort and coziness. Despite being an animal, this rabbit seems to have taken on the role of the traditional stove stoker, a common task for humans during this time. The rabbit's expression shows a sense of concentration and determination, as if he is fully committed to keeping the stove well-stoked and the home warm. The use of a rabbit in this role is a delightful departure from the norm, adding a sense of playfulness and wonder to the image. It also highlights the way in which animals were often personified and anthropomorphized in art and literature during this period. The early 1930s were a time of economic hardship and uncertainty, with the Great Depression affecting many parts of the world. This image, however, offers a brief respite from the harsh realities of the time, inviting us to imagine a world where even rabbits can take on the role of the stove stoker and keep our homes warm and cozy. Overall, this photograph is a charming and delightful reminder of a bygone era, one in which animals and humans could share the simple pleasures of home life, and where a rabbit in a waistcoat and bow tie could keep the stove stoked with the same dedication as any human.
