Kittens in een mand 1860 - 1900

"Kittens in een mand" is a charming photograph by Harry Pointer, a British photographer known for his pet portraits. Created between 1860 and 1900, this image captures three white kittens nestled together in a wicker basket. The photo's warm sepia tones and intimate composition evoke a sense of tenderness and domesticity, making it a popular choice for Victorian-era homes. The inscription, "very many happy returns of the day," suggests that the photograph may have been intended as a greeting card or a personal gift. This small but endearing work showcases Pointer's skill in capturing the playful innocence of animals, making it an engaging piece of 19th-century photographic art.
