1890 Engraving Cats Dame Good Morning Night 19th Century Engraving Cried Fuss Puss Wiggins Wished

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting vintage engraving from 1890, we are transported back to a bygone era of Victorian charm and whimsy. The image captures a moment in the life of Dame Wiggins of Lee as she bids her beloved cats goodnight before retiring to bed. With a gentle smile on her face, she wishes them sweet dreams and ascends the staircase. However, when dawn breaks and the morning light filters through the windows, an unexpected surprise awaits Dame Wiggins. To her astonishment, all of her feline companions have mysteriously vanished! Confusion fills the air as she searches high and low for any sign of their whereabouts. With concern etched upon her face, Dame Wiggins calls out desperately for her missing pets - "Here, tussy puss puss!". Her voice echoes through the empty rooms as she tries to unravel this peculiar puzzle. This illustration showcases not only the illustrative technique employed during that time but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life in 19th-century England. It is a testament to how art can capture moments both ordinary and extraordinary while preserving history for generations to come. As we gaze at this historic artwork, we cannot help but wonder: where could those mischievous cats have gone? Will they return home safely? Only time will tell as Dame Wiggins continues her search with determination and hope in her heart.
