"Pet Kittens" is a chromolithograph from the "Household Pets" series produced by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. in 1891. The image depicts a young woman in a red dress holding three kittens in a white cloth. This charming card is a prime example of the popular Victorian trend of depicting animals in sentimental scenes, capturing the fondness for domestic pets. The use of bright colors and delicate details in the image contributes to its charm and appeal, making it a delightful reminder of the affection shared between humans and animals. The card, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of animal-themed art and the nostalgia it evokes.
