EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian-era postcard image of a frog huntsman and his loyal canine companion. Dressed in hunting attire, complete with a rifle and a bag slung over his shoulder, the huntsman stands confidently at the edge of a serene pond. His expression is focused and determined, as he scans the water's surface for signs of his elusive quarry. But what makes this scene truly unique is the anthropomorphic twist: instead of the typical game animals, our huntsman is after frogs. The frogs themselves seem to add a touch of comic relief to the scene, with their humanized expressions and poses. One frog, perched on a lily pad, looks surprised and slightly alarmed, while another, in the huntsman's bag, looks resigned to its fate. The dog, ever the faithful companion, looks on with a curious and slightly amused expression, as if wondering what all the fuss is about. The water reflects the lush greenery and the clear blue sky, adding to the idyllic and whimsical atmosphere of the scene. This postcard, dating back to the 1890s, is a delightful reminder of a time when the natural world was seen through a different lens, and where even the most ordinary creatures could be the subject of human fascination and humor.
