EDITORS COMMENTS
Hows your mother in for a fly-by milk delivery, circa 1910s? In this charming and humorous print from the past, a milkman named Mister Flypours makes an unexpected entrance, delivering fresh milk to his customers in the most extraordinary way! Instead of the traditional horse-drawn cart, Mister Flypours has swapped his means of transportation for a daring biplane. With a cheerful wave and a confident grin, he skillfully maneuvers his aircraft over rooftops and chimneys, dropping milk bottles to the amazement of the people below. A curious cat peeks out from a window, watching the spectacle unfold, while a weathercock atop a spire points in the direction of the approaching plane. The men in the scene, dressed in their Sunday best, can't help but marvel at the innovative delivery method. This comic print, filled with humor and whimsy, showcases the ingenuity and adaptability of the tradesmen of the era. While milkmen have long since traded their biplanes for more conventional delivery trucks, this image remains a delightful reminder of the past and the unexpected twists that life can bring.
