EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of the late Victorian era with this enchanting image of an elephant penning a New Year greeting on a card. Dating back to the 1890s, this photograph captures the whimsical spirit of anthropomorphism, a popular trend during this period that humanized animals. The majestic elephant, dressed in a blue coat adorned with red and yellow stripes, dons a quirky pince-nez glasses and a red jacket, adding a touch of human-like character to this gentle giant. With a feather quill in one hand and an ink pot in the other, the elephant focuses intently on the card, its trunk curled in concentration. Surrounded by a clutter of Victorian paraphernalia, including a map of the British Isles, a pair of scissors, and a stack of cards, the scene exudes an air of creativity and craftsmanship. The elephant's tusks, intricately decorated with intricate designs, serve as a reminder of its natural beauty and strength. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when animals were celebrated for their unique personalities and capabilities. The elephant's heartfelt greeting on the New Year card serves as a testament to the enduring power of connection and the joy of sharing a message of hope and happiness with loved ones.
