1890 Engraving Back Cats Dame Frightened Goose Loose Poultry Show Turned 19th Century Engraving Leaped Wiggins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1890 engraving takes us back to the Victorian era, showcasing a whimsical scene that is both amusing and intriguing. The image depicts a man proudly presenting his poultry to an audience, but with an unexpected twist. To demonstrate their agility, he releases all of his birds, only for each one to cleverly perch on the back of a startled goose. The artist's illustrative technique beautifully captures the comical chaos that ensues as the frightened fowl make a mad dash towards the sea. In their panic, they unintentionally cause quite a stir among the cats belonging to Dame Wiggins of Lee, who find themselves half-drowned in this unexpected turn of events. This vintage print not only offers us a glimpse into 19th-century culture and artistry but also invites us to reflect on human curiosity and its unintended consequences. It reminds us that sometimes our attempts to showcase or impress others can lead to unforeseen outcomes. With its retro charm and historic appeal, this engraving from Arkheia provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate the intricate details and storytelling abilities of nineteenth-century engravings. Whether you are drawn by its nostalgic allure or simply intrigued by its narrative, this artwork transports you back in time while leaving room for your imagination to wander.
