EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the Victorian era with this charming and humorous image of four frogs in striped costumes, gathered around a festive cutout Christmas card. Dressed in tailcoats with stripes of red, blue, pink, and white, these anthropomorphic amphibians exude a playful and comic spirit. The frogs, each carrying a symbol of holiday indulgence, add to the merriment of the scene. One frog proudly holds a plate piled high with Christmas delicacies, another cradles a steaming mug of cocoa, while the third takes a puff from a tobacco pipe, and the fourth savors a cigar. Their expressive faces, filled with mirth and amusement, invite us to join in their holiday cheer. This late 1890s photograph, with its humanized and comic portrayal of frogs, showcases the delightful sense of humor and anthropomorphism that was popular during the Victorian era. The frogs' striped costumes, reminiscent of the tailcoats worn by gentlemen of the time, add an element of elegance and sophistication to the image. As we gaze upon this delightful scene, we can't help but be transported back to a time when Christmas cards were handmade, and the simple pleasures of the season brought people together in joy and laughter. This unique and charming photograph is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the magic of the holiday season.
