EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical image is a vintage postcard from the early 20th century, featuring a delightful illustration of King Cups from the Flower Children series by Amy Millicent Sowerby, published by Humphrey Milford. Dated back to 1920, this postcard is part of the Postcards for the Little Ones collection. King Cups, also known as Common Blue Violets or Viola tricolor, are a beloved spring flower that has been admired for their beauty and symbolism for centuries. In this illustration, the King Cups are depicted in a lush, green meadow, surrounded by vibrant wildflowers and playful children. The children are dressed in flowing clothes reminiscent of the Flower Children movement of the late 1600s, adding a touch of fantasy and magic to the scene. Amy Millicent Sowerby (1867-1959) was a prolific and talented English botanical illustrator, who is best known for her exquisite watercolor paintings of flowers and plants. Her illustrations were published in numerous books and calendars, and her work continues to be celebrated for its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and captivating beauty. This postcard is a delightful glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures of nature and the joy of childhood. It is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of King Cups and the timeless beauty of nature, as well as the talent and artistry of Amy Millicent Sowerby.
