EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian postcard image of a stork delivering a baby in a wicker pram. Dating back to the 1890s, this whimsical card showcases the playful anthropomorphism of the stork as a symbol of new birth. The tall, stately bird is depicted in intricate detail, with outstretched wings and a knowing smile on its beak, as it carefully lowers a small bundle wrapped in blue swaddling clothes into the woven wicker pram below. The pram, adorned with a blue ribbon and bow, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The overall effect is one of delight and humor, capturing the joy and wonder of a new arrival in the world. This postcard is a beautiful example of the comic and decorative art of the late Victorian era, and a delightful way to share a message of new life and happiness with friends and loved ones.
