EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and welcome the New Year with a splash of humor and wonder as you behold this charming image of Four Frog Acrobats from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. This delightful New Year card, now a vintage treasure, once brought joy and amusement to its recipients with its whimsical and anthropomorphic depiction of these froggy performers. The frogs, dressed in colorful attire, are perched in a row, each one smaller than the last, reaching for a ripe red fruit suspended from a tightrope strung above them. The largest frog, with a determined expression and outstretched arms, seems to be leading the act. The other frogs, with their green bodies and expressive faces, display a range of emotions from concentration to anticipation. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene waterfront, with a gentle river flowing in the background. The frogs, seemingly defying their reptilian nature, engage in acrobatic feats that are both comic and captivating. Their humanized qualities, combined with their size contrasts, add to the playful and humorous tone of the card. This historical image, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past and the sense of wonder and delight that New Year cards once brought. The Four Frog Acrobats, with their timeless appeal, continue to evoke laughter and joy, making them a cherished addition to any collection.
