EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-coloured postcard, dated 1913, captures the innocence and wonder of childhood as two young children discover a lone sheep in a verdant field, surrounded by a sea of vibrant flowers. The scene, painted by the talented British artist Ethel Parkinson, evokes a sense of tranquility and delight. The children, dressed in simple, turn-of-the-century attire, are seen placing bouquets of flowers around the sheep's neck, creating a makeshift crown. Their faces are filled with joy and curiosity, as they marvel at their discovery and the beauty of nature around them. The sheep, with its gentle expression, seems to welcome the children's affection, adding to the heartwarming atmosphere of the image. The intricate hand-colouring technique used by Ethel Parkinson brings the scene to life, adding depth and richness to the already captivating image. This postcard is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the connection between humans and animals.
