Celebrating in Style: A Delightful Depiction of Three Pigs Ringing in the New Year (circa 1890s) Step into the whimsical world of Victorian-era anthropomorphism with this charming postcard featuring three jovial pigs toasting to the New Year. Dressed in their finest evening attire, these pigs don monocles and red jackets adorned with gold buttons, while their white waistcoats gleam beneath the twinkling stars. The pigs' top hats, complete with red ribbons, add an air of sophistication to the scene. The pigs' merriment is palpable as they raise their glasses of champagne, the bubbly liquid spilling over the rims in a festive display. Their rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes radiate the joy and merriment of the season. The postcard's intricate border, adorned with gold filigree and delicate flowers, further enhances the celebratory atmosphere. This delightful postcard, hailing from the late 1890s, showcases the playful and humorous side of Victorian-era art. The humanisation of animals, a popular trend during this time, adds a touch of whimsy and amusement to the image. The use of anthropomorphism, with the pigs dressed in human clothing and engaging in human activities, invites the viewer to imagine a world where animals can celebrate the New Year just like us. As the pigs raise their glasses and cheer, we are reminded that no matter the species, the New Year brings an opportunity for joy, merriment, and the hope for a prosperous year ahead.
