EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard, published by Humphrey Milford as part of their 'Farm Babies' series in 1917, captures the tender moment between a mother cow and her newborn calf. The black-and-white photograph, taken by artist Eileen Hood, beautifully conveys the strong bond between the two animals as they gaze at each other with affection. The 'Farm Babies' series was a popular collection of postcards that showcased images of farm animals and their young ones. These postcards were often given as gifts to children and served as an educational tool to teach them about farm life. The series was produced by Humphrey Milford, a well-known British publisher of educational and children's books. Eileen Hood was a talented artist who specialized in animal photography. Her work was known for its naturalistic and sensitive portrayal of animals, making her an ideal choice for the 'Farm Babies' series. The image of the cow and calf is a testament to Hood's ability to capture the beauty and intimacy of the natural world. The postcard's design is simple yet elegant, with a white border and a red caption that reads "Farm Babies. No. 2. Cow and Calf." The reverse side of the postcard is blank, leaving ample space for a message or a stamp. This postcard is a delightful reminder of a bygone era when the simple pleasures of rural life were celebrated, and the bond between mother and child, whether human or animal, was cherished. Today, it serves as a charming addition to any collection of vintage postcards or as a nostalgic keepsake for those who appreciate the beauty of the natural world and the enduring connection between parents and their young ones.
