Hippo's Delight
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration, created by the talented artist G.H. Thompson in the late 19th century, depicts a whimsical moment in the life of a hippopotamus. In this delightful comic postcard from the Nister series 172/2, the hippo is shown with a thoughtful expression and a mouth watering at the sight of a tantalizing bun. The artist's use of line and color brings the hippo to life, capturing its playful and endearing nature. The hippo, a large and powerful animal native to Africa, is often depicted as a grumpy and aggressive creature. However, in this illustration, Thompson presents a softer side to the hippo, inviting us to see the animal as capable of experiencing the same simple pleasures as we do. The bun, a small and seemingly insignificant treat, has captured the hippo's attention and imagination. The use of comic elements, such as the hippo's exaggerated expression and the speech bubble above its head, adds to the lighthearted and humorous tone of the illustration. The postcard format, a popular form of communication and entertainment in the late 1800s, further emphasizes the playful and casual nature of the image. Overall, "Hippo's Delight" is a delightful and endearing illustration that invites us to see the world from a different perspective. Through the use of humor and whimsy, Thompson reminds us that even the largest and most powerful creatures can find joy in the simplest of things.
