EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image of a musical cat serenading his beloved tabby companion through the window. Dating back to the 1890s, this whimsical scene showcases the anthropomorphic and humanized qualities of cats that were popular during this era. The tabby cat, with his expressive face and paw positioned on the strings, skillfully plays a small guitar, while his lady love gazes back at him with adoring eyes. The comic and humorous nature of the scene adds a delightful touch to this romantic moment. The use of stringed instruments in this context was a common theme during the late 1800s, reflecting the growing popularity of music and the arts during this period. This postcard is a wonderful reminder of the enduring appeal of cats and their ability to evoke emotions and bring joy to our lives. Collectors and enthusiasts of antique postcards, Victorian art, and feline-themed memorabilia will treasure this unique and intriguing piece of history.
