EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Playful Frogs: A Delightful Victorian-Era Morning Scene on this Charming Postcard Step back in time with this whimsical and humorous postcard image, featuring two frogs in bed, enjoying a leisurely morning together. Dating back to the late 1890s, this charming print captures the essence of a bygone era with its intricate details and delightful sense of humor. The scene unfolds on a brass bedstead, where the two frog companions lie nestled under the covers, each with a contented expression. One frog, dressed in a nightcap, reaches out to take a sip from a cup, while the other, wearing a robe, nibbles on a mushroom, likely the main course of their breakfast in bed. The frogs' humanized features and expressions add to the playful and endearing nature of the image. The postcard's background is adorned with intricate floral patterns, adding to the overall Victorian aesthetic. A bell is also visible on the bedside table, possibly indicating that breakfast service has been requested. This postcard is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the late 19th century, when artists and illustrators brought everyday objects and animals to life through their art. The frogs' cozy and comfortable bed, the mushrooms for breakfast, and the extra charge for breakfast in bed all add to the lighthearted and amusing nature of this delightful postcard image.
