Aldin Babies Cecil Conversation Decimus Duckling Ducklings Pigs Straw Trough

EDITORS COMMENTS
Cecil Aldin's enchanting illustration, "Farm Babies," transports us back to the idyllic charm of the 1900s farmyard. In this delightful scene, a yellow decimus duckling named Decimus attempts to engage three young pigs, affectionately referred to as the Porkers of Sty Hall, in a conversation. The pigs, with their large, round bodies and rosy features, are busy slurping from a trough filled with slop, seemingly oblivious to Decimus' advances. The duckling, with its bright eyes and downy feathers, looks determined to make a connection, as it waddles closer to the pigs, who are nestled among a bed of straw. The lush greenery and warm sunlight filtering through the trees in the background add to the serene atmosphere of this charming illustration. This image, created by renowned English illustrator Cecil Aldin in 1909, is a testament to the enduring appeal of farm animals and the innocence of childhood.
