EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard, titled "Chicken & Pigs" and published by Humphrey Milford as part of their "Farm Babies" series in 1917, captures the idyllic scene of a young farmer tending to his livestock. The artist, Eileen Hood, expertly brings the scene to life with her intricate and detailed illustration. The image features a young boy in a straw hat and overalls, lovingly holding a baby chick in one hand while feeding a piglet from a pail with the other. Surrounding them are more chicks and pigs, some playing in the dirt while others peck at the ground or explore their surroundings. In the background, a red barn and rolling green hills add to the pastoral setting. This postcard is a delightful snapshot of rural life in the early 20th century, showcasing the close connection between farmers and their animals. It also highlights the innocence and joy of childhood, as the young farmer enjoys the simple pleasures of caring for his farm animals. The "Farm Babies" series, published by Humphrey Milford, was a popular collection of postcards featuring illustrations of farm animals and their young. These postcards were intended for children and were often given as gifts or used as greeting cards. Eileen Hood's illustrations, with their attention to detail and charming depictions of farm life, made them a beloved addition to any collection. This postcard is a beautiful reminder of a simpler time, when the joys of rural life and the bond between farmers and their animals were celebrated. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the countryside and the nostalgia that comes with looking back on a bygone era.
