EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing print depicting a charming scene from the Victorian era. The image, created by an unknown artist for "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," showcases two young girls proudly holding up a kitten and a puppy, with several other kittens and puppies playfully surrounding them. The title "The Pick of the Litter" is prominently displayed at the top of the cover, emphasizing the concept of choosing the best from a group. This engraving offers a glimpse into the childhood experiences of the past, where children were often close to nature and animals. The image is a metaphor for the joy and excitement of selecting a new pet from a litter, a common occurrence in rural England during the 19th century. The girls' expressions of delight and the playful antics of the kittens and puppies evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. The print is a testament to the deep connection between people and animals during this time, and the enduring appeal of pets in our lives. The black and white medium adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a simpler era. This print is a must-have for collectors of historical art, animal prints, and those who appreciate the charm of the Victorian era.
