EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming scene from the early 1900s, captured in this beautifully preserved Market Reports Series postcard titled "Country Ducks Arrived." The image portrays a rustic railway station scene where country visitors have just disembarked from a train, bringing with them the essence of the countryside. In the foreground, a porter, dressed in a smart uniform, assists a woman in a flowing dress and hat, as she carefully steps down from the train with a large wicker picnic hamper in tow. Her companion, also dressed in elegant attire, carries a bouquet of flowers and a small basket. The arrival of the country ducks, signified by the large crates labeled "Ducks" on the train, adds an element of excitement and anticipation to the scene. The train, adorned with the name "Percy" and the destination "Vernon," sits idly on the tracks, with a guard standing by, ensuring the safety of the passengers and their luggage. The station platform is bustling with activity, with other passengers disembarking from the train, some carrying cases and bags, while others wait to board. This idyllic scene is reminiscent of a special excursion or a day trip to the countryside, where visitors would travel by train to enjoy the beauty of nature and perhaps indulge in a picnic. The arrival of the country ducks adds a delightful touch to the scene, highlighting the connection between the rural landscape and the urban visitors.
