Anthropomorphism Beds Dormitory Enjoyment Fight Humanised Naughty Pigs Pillow Pillows Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming New Year card featuring four anthropomorphic pigs engaged in a playful pillow fight. Dressed in nightgowns and caps, these humanized pigs bring a delightful touch of humor to the celebration of the New Year. The cozy dormitory setting, complete with four beds, adds to the sense of fun and enjoyment. The pigs' naughty grins and rosy cheeks suggest a mischievous spirit that is both endearing and amusing. This comic illustration, likely from the 1890s, showcases the anthropomorphism trend of the time, where animals were given human characteristics and behaviors for the purpose of entertainment. The use of pillows in their fight adds a gentle touch to the scene, making it a perfect card to send to loved ones during the holiday season. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this card make it a true treasure for collectors of antique New Year cards and Victorian-era memorabilia.
