EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century lithograph captures a humorous and slightly chaotic moment as a dog eagerly seizes the stick held out by a frightened postman. The scene is filled with movement and emotion, with the postman's expression of surprise and fear contrasting with the dog's playful enthusiasm.
The vivid colors in this print bring the scene to life, highlighting the contrast between the red uniform of the postman and the brown fur of the dog. The attention to detail in capturing both characters' expressions adds depth to this simple yet engaging moment.
This illustration was originally created for "Bubbles," edited by Dr. Barnardo, appearing in Volume 2 of The Children's Bookroom around 1895. It perfectly encapsulates a lighthearted and whimsical interaction between man and animal, making it a timeless piece that continues to delight viewers today.
Whether you're an animal lover or simply appreciate art from centuries past, this print is sure to bring a smile to your face as you imagine yourself caught up in this comical encounter between man and his furry friend.
