EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming New Year's card featuring a frog in a tall, thin tailcoat, playing the trombone with great concentration. This delightful image, reminiscent of the anthropomorphic trend of the 1890s, showcases the humanised reptile dressed in clothes typically worn by musicians of the time. The frog's slim figure and green skin add a touch of comic relief and humour to the traditional New Year's card. The brass trombone, an instrument known for its powerful and resonant sound, is held firmly in the frog's webbed hands. The intricate details of the instrument, along with the frog's expressive face, create an endearing contrast between the expected and the unexpected. This photograph, taken circa 1890s, offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time when the lines between reality and fantasy were blurred, and the imagination was allowed to run wild. The card's design, with its intricate border and elegant typography, further emphasizes the significance of the occasion and the importance of starting the new year on a joyful note. As you exchange New Year's greetings with loved ones, let this card serve as a reminder to embrace the unexpected, find joy in the little things, and approach each new year with a sense of wonder and adventure.
