Humanised Misfitz Owls Pipe Wine Zoological
EDITORS COMMENTS
Zoological Misfitz - Fly-by-night Owl (early 20th century). Meet the Fly-by-night Owl, a charming misfit from the Zoological Misfitz series by an unidentified illustrator, showcased here in this early 20th-century print from Terry Parker's collection at Mary Evans Picture Library. This whimsical illustration captures the Fly-by-night Owl in a rare moment of relaxation, enjoying a glass of wine and a pipe. The owl's humanized features, including its pipe-smoking habit and the wine glass clutched in its talons, add a delightful touch of humor and anthropomorphism to this otherwise nocturnal creature. The Fly-by-night Owl's name is a nod to its unique behavior, as it is known to be active during the night and sleep during the day. This intriguing bird, with its large, expressive eyes and distinctive feathers, has captured the imagination of viewers for generations. The Zoological Misfitz series, which features various anthropomorphized animals in humorous situations, was popular during the early 1900s. These prints were often used as decorative items, gracing the walls of homes and offices with a touch of whimsy and amusement. This particular print, with its charming depiction of the Fly-by-night Owl, is a testament to the enduring appeal of these quirky and humorous illustrations. It invites us to pause and appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of the natural world, while also reminding us that even the most unlikely creatures can find joy in simple pleasures.
