Hippo - Eh What?
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Playful Wink from the Nister Series 172 by G.H. Thompson This charming postcard, featuring a winking hippopotamus, is an illustration from the Nister Series 172 by the talented British artist, G.H. Thompson. The image, titled "Hippo: Eh What?", showcases Thompson's unique ability to infuse humor and personality into his animal subjects. The hippo, with its expressive eyes and mischievous grin, seems to be engaging in a lighthearted exchange with the viewer. The artist's use of bold lines and vibrant colors adds to the whimsical feel of the illustration. Thompson's mastery of the medium is evident in the intricate details of the hippo's textured skin and the subtle shading that brings depth to the image. The Nister Series, published by the German company J.G. Nister & Co. in the late 19th century, was a popular collection of illustrated postcards featuring a wide range of animals and scenes. Thompson's contribution to the series showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects and adding a touch of humor to make them relatable and endearing. This postcard, with its delightful illustration of a winking hippo, is a testament to Thompson's artistic skill and the enduring appeal of his work. It is a charming addition to any collection of vintage postcards or animal-themed art.
