EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming advertising postcard from 1906 features a clever twist on the classic nursery rhyme "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" to promote the Smith-Wallace Shoe Co. The anonymous artist behind this delightful illustration has reimagined the familiar tale with a playful and whimsical touch.
In the image, a black sheep is depicted wearing a stylish pair of shoes from Smith-Wallace Shoe Co, standing out among a flock of white sheep. The juxtaposition of the traditional nursery rhyme with modern footwear creates an eye-catching and memorable advertisement that surely caught the attention of consumers in early 20th century America.
The intricate details and vibrant colors of this postcard showcase the artistic talent and creativity of its creator. It serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling in capturing audience's imagination and leaving a lasting impression.
As we admire this vintage piece from the Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to an era when advertising was both inventive and enchanting. This postcard is not just a promotional tool for shoes; it is also a work of art that continues to captivate viewers over a century later.
