Created in the late 19th century, this charming color lithograph showcases the anthropomorphic qualities often found in Victorian art. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the adorable kitten blowing into the bugle with great enthusiasm. Its tiny paws delicately hold onto the instrument as it produces its melodic notes. The surrounding feline audience seems captivated by this impromptu performance, their eyes fixed on the talented musician. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable - from the intricate music sheets resting on a nearby music stand to delicate ribbons adorning various elements of this enchanting scene.
