EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a whimsical Victorian garden where two mischievous frogs share a hearty chuckle as they play a practical joke on an unsuspecting wasp. This charming greetings card, dating back to the 1890s, captures the playful spirit of nature with its delightful scene of anthropomorphic frogs and a dangling wasp. The vibrant green grass and mushrooms add to the idyllic setting, while the frogs' comic expressions and the wasp's surprised pose are sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face. Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human qualities or behaviours to non-human entities, was a popular artistic theme during the Victorian era. This card is a testament to the enduring appeal of this artistic style, which continues to captivate us with its ability to humanize and add humour to the natural world. As the frogs dream of the best wishes and happy dreams for the recipient, the wasp remains oblivious to the prank, adding a touch of whimsy and light-heartedness to this historical greetings card. The frogs' dangling legs and the wasp's dangling thread create a sense of balance and harmony, making this a truly delightful piece of art that transcends time and continues to inspire wonder and amusement.
