EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful circus scene from the late Victorian era! This charming greetings card, circa 1890s, features a playful pig dressed in a circus outfit, proudly carrying a black poodle on his back. The pig's curly tail swirls around as he takes a determined stride forward, while the poodle clings on with a look of excitement and anticipation. A little boy, dressed as a clown with red nose and oversized shoes, stands beside them, brandishing a whip with a mischievous grin. The anthropomorphic animals and humanized children add an element of comic humour to this anthropological snapshot of a bygone era. The use of anthropomorphism, where animals are given human characteristics, was a popular trend during this time, often used to add a sense of whimsy and amusement to illustrations. This card is a testament to the enduring appeal of the circus and the joy it brings to people of all ages.
