EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting silhouette design for a Christmas card dates back to circa 1937, showcasing the timeless charm of Mother Goose and her beloved nursery rhyme characters. The captivating artwork, created by an unidentified artist, features a woman in profile, gracefully riding on the back of an iridescent goose. The goose spreads its wings wide, adorned with delicate stars, as it glides through the night sky. In the foreground, a chirping chick peeks out from the foliage, adding a delightful touch of whimsy to the scene. The women, dressed in Victorian attire, hold on to the goose's reins with a sense of excitement and anticipation. The design is executed in a beautiful cream color palette, making the intricate silhouettes stand out against the dark background. The design's simplicity and elegance make it a perfect fit for a Christmas card, evoking the magic and wonder of the holiday season. The 1930s, also known as the Thirties, were an era of innovation and creativity, and this design is a testament to the artistic talent and imagination of the time. This original artwork is not only a beautiful piece of history but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of Mother Goose and her cast of characters.
