Anthropomorphism Babies Bliss Dressing Gown Humanised Pigs Pipe Skullcap Tobacco
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the late 1890s with this charming and humorous postcard image of a pig couple doting on their three adorable piglets. The scene exudes a sense of domestic bliss and cozy comfort, as the pig father, dressed in a pipe and skullcap, leisurely smokes his pipe while the pig mother, dressed in a gown and clothing reminiscent of Victorian-era human clothing, attends to their babies. The piglets, dressed in tiny outfits, playfully peek out from their mother's apron and crib. Anthropomorphism, the attribution of human characteristics and emotions to non-human beings, was a popular artistic trend during the late 1800s, and this postcard is a prime example of this comic and humorous take on the human-animal relationship. The use of pigs, with their endearing and relatable expressions, adds an extra layer of humor and delight to this heartwarming family scene. This postcard is a window into a bygone era, a time when the simple joys of family life were celebrated and cherished. The warm colors and intricate details of the image transport us back to a time when life was slower, and the pleasures of home and hearth were the focus of daily life.
