"A cat in festive attire, posing with the utmost dignity, wishes you a Merry Christmas. Victorian elegance and feline humor come together in an image of absolute tenderness."

Context of the work

Victorian greeting cards, which appeared in the 1840s with the widespread use of postage stamps in Great Britain, quickly became an art form in their own right – printed in chromolithography, populated with angels, flowers, and anthropomorphic animals.

Cats in human clothes, a particularly popular theme, embody the refined yet mischievous spirit of the Victorian era.

Where do Victorian greeting cards with dressed animals come from?

Appearing in the 1840s with the widespread use of the British postage stamp, these chromolithographed cards featured anthropomorphic animals, with cats in human clothing embodying the refined and mischievous spirit of the era.

What format should I choose for this reproduction?

This reproduction is available in 30 x 40 cm, 40 x 50 cm, and 50 x 70 cm. The 30 x 40 cm size is suitable for a hallway, office, or gallery wall; the 50 x 70 cm size stands alone above a sofa or bed. The frame is not included; the sizes are standard and can be found commercially.

Beautiful images deserve beautiful paper

The paper is an uncoated matte 170 gsm. Its surface stays slightly fibrous, the ink sinks in, the light spreads across it. Colors keep their depth, as on the page of a book.

It is FSC certified, so it comes from sustainably managed forests, and printed as close to you as possible to shorten transport.

Hanging a piece is not the same as seeing it once. It stays there, you find it again in passing, and the day pauses for a second. It is a moment you give yourself, and offer to those who live with you.
