A Stork's Delivery,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Muriel Dawson, 1920s This enchanting illustration by Muriel Dawson, created in the 1920s, depicts the timeless myth of a stork delivering a baby. The illustration showcases a stork perched gracefully on a chimney, cradling a bundle wrapped in swaddling clothes in one talon, while the other holds a letter or a bouquet of flowers. The scene is filled with warmth and wonder, as the stork gazes down at the newborn baby below, surrounded by soft pillows and blankets. The illustration is accompanied by a verse penned by Muriel Dawson, adding to the magical atmosphere: "In the stillness of the night, A gentle tapping at the pane, A stork with a baby in his sight, Brings joy to a young mother's reign. With a nod and a wink, he takes his leave, Leaving behind a precious gift, A newborn babe, a life to weave, A bond of love, a new life's lift." This illustration is a beautiful reminder of the age-old belief that storks deliver babies, a myth that has been passed down through generations. Muriel Dawson's captivating artwork and poetic verse evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back to a simpler time. The intricate details of the stork's feathers, the baby's soft features, and the cozy setting all contribute to the enchanting story told in this illustration.
