Babies Bare Feet Mellins Ribbon Ribbons Scrap Toddler Toddlers Mellin


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Victorian-era image from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, a toddler, dressed in a frilly pink dress with matching ribbons and bows, sits confidently on a simple wooden chair. The young one's bare feet rest on the floor, and their curious expression suggests they are deep in thought or perhaps just enjoying the moment. Surrounding the scene is an advertisement for Mellins Food, a popular nutrition supplement for infants and toddlers during the late 1800s. The advertisement, in faded script, reads, "Mellins Food for Babies and Toddlers: The Perfect Food for Your Little One's Growing Years." Mellins Food was marketed as a convenient and nutritious alternative to breastfeeding or homemade foods, and its use was encouraged by many doctors and midwives of the time. The advertisement's design is elegant and understated, with delicate pink ribbons and bows adorning the edges. The use of the color pink and the image of a toddler in a similar dress likely reinforces the idea that Mellins Food was a feminine and nurturing choice for mothers. This charming photograph, with its combination of a sweet moment captured in time and a glimpse into the advertising practices of the past, offers a fascinating look into the lives of Victorian-era families and their concerns for their children's health and well-being.
