Two dogs race after a mouse through an open case of champagne, a comic scene that turns a wooden shipping crate into a playground of bottles and mischief. The record lists H. Bencke as the associated name, and the print dates to 1878, when humorous animal pictures were popular in illustrated prints and advertising. Champagne was a common subject in commercial imagery of the period, and the joke here depends on the familiar sight of animals breaking the order of a cluttered, carefully packed space.
