Jack and Jill Went Up A Hill

Kittens Personified - Cute, Silly, Clumsy Kittens Take a Tumble

ECLIPSE Image Number 01350004

 In this rendition of Jack and Jill, two Siamese kittens are personified as they attempt to climb a chair. Jack (or Jill) has a tiny pail in one paw. The goal is to reach a vase filled with flowers and water. As with the original version, the kittens are unable to complete their task and tumble to the floor taking the vase the table and the chair with them.The overall impression of the color green adds tothe unreality of this scene.
