EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting hand-coloured postcard, dated 1913, captures a delightful moment in the life of a group of children as they enjoy a picturesque picnic in a lush green field. The scene is filled with the simple joys of childhood: young hands reaching for sandwiches and fruit, laughter echoing through the air, and the gentle companionship of a beloved pet dog. The children's dolls, carefully placed among the blankets and baskets, add an endearing touch to the idyllic setting. The artist of this postcard, Ethel Parkinson, masterfully brings the scene to life with her skilled use of hand-colouring techniques. The vibrant hues of the children's clothing, the rich greens of the grass, and the warm tones of the picnic blankets all contribute to a sense of warmth and nostalgia. The soft focus and gentle composition further emphasize the dreamlike quality of the image. This postcard, a treasured piece of history, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the simple pleasures of a picnic in the countryside were enough to bring joy and wonder to the hearts of children. The enduring appeal of this image lies in its ability to evoke memories of our own childhoods and the memories we create with the ones we love.
