EDITORS COMMENTS
This late Victorian-era print depicts a stork in flight, carrying a woven wicker basket cradling a newborn baby. The image is featured on an audible good luck card, adding an extra layer of celebration and anticipation. Dating back to the 1890s, this charming piece showcases the rich history and symbolism of the stork as a bringer of new life and good fortune in German culture. The stork, a large and graceful bird, has long been associated with the arrival of babies in European folklore. The belief that storks deliver babies to new parents originated in Europe during the Middle Ages, and the tradition persisted well into the late 19th century. The stork's long, curved beak and legs were thought to resemble the shape of a midwife's tools, further solidifying its role as a symbol of childbirth and delivery. This beautifully detailed print, with its vibrant green background and intricately woven wicker basket, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The use of an audible good luck card, which would have been played or read aloud to the recipient, adds an element of surprise and delight, making this a cherished keepsake for special occasions such as the birth of a new baby. As we admire this enchanting image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and traditions that continue to shape our cultural understanding of the stork and its role in the arrival of new life.
