EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming glimpse into a Victorian New Year's celebration, this delightful print captures the whimsical scene of two cats indulging in a feast while a mischievous crow lurks nearby. Dating back to around 1880, this color lithograph showcases the artistic prowess of an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The image portrays two adorable kittens eagerly devouring their meal from an ornate plate adorned with festive holly and ribbons. Their contentment is momentarily interrupted by the presence of a cunning crow, clutching a bone tightly in its beak. The juxtaposition of these creatures creates an intriguing narrative within the composition. This Victorian New Year card not only reflects the era's fascination with animals but also symbolizes themes of abundance and survival. The cats' joyful feasting represents prosperity and good fortune for the upcoming year, while the lurking crow hints at challenges that may lie ahead. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph print offers us a window into history and invites us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and cultural significance. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst celebrations, we must remain vigilant for unexpected obstacles on our path towards new beginnings.
