EDITORS COMMENTS
This surreal and intriguing photograph, hailing from circa 1916, presents an unusual scene of two plump babies in cozy seats, strapped to the backs of two contented cows. Their curious mouths are attached to long tubes that originate from the cows' udders, allowing them to drink milk directly from the source. To the right, a scientific-looking fellow diligently checks the quality of the milk, adding an air of experimentation and innovation to the scene. The image, with its bizarre and eccentric composition, invites questions about the context and purpose behind this unusual method of feeding. Was this a marketing gimmick or a genuine attempt at providing the best possible nourishment for these infants? The image's surreal nature, along with the serious expression of the scientist, adds a layer of intrigue that continues to captivate viewers. This photograph, with its odd combination of the natural and the scientific, offers a glimpse into the past and the unusual ways in which people approached the simple act of feeding their babies. The image's surreal and strange beauty invites us to ponder the history of childcare and the lengths people have gone to ensure the health and wellbeing of their young ones.
