1890 Engraving Back Cats Dame Frightened Goose Loose Poultry Show Turned Leaped Wiggins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1890 engraving from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a whimsical moment in history. The image depicts a man eager to showcase his poultry, but instead of presenting them neatly, he decides to release them all at once. As each bird gracefully leaps onto the back of a startled goose, chaos ensues. The unexpected sight startles the flock and sends them running towards the nearby sea. The comical scene unfolds as cats belonging to Dame Wiggins of Lee find themselves caught up in this avian frenzy. In their desperate attempt to escape, some felines end up half-drowned by the unruly birds' mad dash for safety. This Victorian-era engraving beautifully captures both the humor and unpredictability of life in that time period. Its illustrative technique showcases intricate details and fine craftsmanship typical of engravings from this era. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we are transported into a world where everyday occurrences can turn into amusing spectacles. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and mishaps, there is always room for laughter and joy. With its retro charm and historic artistry, this nineteenth-century engraving offers us an intriguing glimpse into days gone by – an artifact worth cherishing for its cultural significance and artistic merit.
