Babies Baskets Birth Bring Bringing Carry Delivered Postal Postman Postmen Ribbon Ribbons Scrap Storks Wicker Wickerwork Delivery Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph print from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s, captures the whimsical and enduring myth of storks delivering babies. The scene is set against a backdrop of five Victorian scraps, each one featuring a stork gracefully carrying a baby in a wicker basket, while a postman in a blue uniform delivers mail in the foreground. The postman, with his red hat and red ribbon on his epaulettes, adds an unexpected element to this magical tableau. The storks, with their long, curved beaks and white plumage, are depicted in mid-flight, their wings spread wide as they bring new life to eagerly waiting families. The water beneath them shimmers in the sunlight, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The wicker baskets, intricately woven with ribbons in red and blue, are a symbol of new beginnings and the joy of childbirth. This charming image, with its blend of myth, ribbons, and the postal service, is a delightful reminder of the innocence and wonder of the Victorian era. It is a timeless and beautiful representation of the magical moment of new life, brought to us by the mythical stork and the reliable postman.
