Or is it a sweet? I can't tell but it's another typically Victorian subject for a Christmas card featuring cute animals.
Having looked at the picture again, the tails of the mice look suspiciously long. Maybe they are rats, not mice, and are not so cute after all! Unless, of course, they are friendly pet rats...
I would say they are friendly pet rats.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely could be!
