EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and humorous Victorian-era New Year card featuring two Scottish frogs in traditional tartan attire, sitting comfortably on a tankard-shaped card adorned with two sturdy handles. Dating back to the 1890s, this card showcases the delightful use of anthropomorphism, as the frogs are humanized with kilts, sporran, and even bagpipes, adding to the comic and light-hearted nature of the design. The frogs, with their merrily smiling faces, appear to be toasting the New Year with a drink in hand, bringing a touch of fun and amusement to the celebration of Hogmanay. This historical card is a testament to the rich Scottish culture and traditions, making it a unique and intriguing addition to any collection. The intricate details of the tartan patterns and the frogs' accessories, such as the kilt pleats and the sporran, add to the authenticity and appeal of this piece of history.
