Two Robins Alarmed by a Cat: A Delightful Holiday Scene from the Early 20th Century (Mary Evans Prints Online) Step back in time with this charming and humorous Christmas card image from the early 1900s, featuring two startled robins reacting to the unexpected presence of a cat. The scene takes place outside a quaint house, with the robins perched on a windowsill adorned with holly and ivy, symbols of the Christmas season. The cat, dressed in a nightshirt and nightcap, peeks in through the window, seemingly unaware of the commotion it has caused. The use of anthropomorphism in this image adds a touch of whimsy and humor to the scene, as the animals display human-like reactions of alarm and surprise. The robins, with their bright red breasts and round, curious eyes, are a common sight during the winter months, adding to the festive atmosphere. The cat, with its alert ears and curious expression, is a classic representation of the mischievous feline. This image, with its Auld Lang Syne-inspired title, evokes a sense of nostalgia and warmth, reminding us of simpler times and the joy of the holiday season. The scene is also a reminder of the natural world that exists just beyond our windows, even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. This charming and historic print is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature, the humor of anthropomorphism, and the magic of the holiday season. Display it proudly on your mantle or send it as a unique and thoughtful holiday greeting to loved ones.
