EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of Victorian humor with this charming New Year card designed by Robert Dudley in the late 1800s. The image features a stork delivering a basket of newly hatched chicks to a family on the banks of a serene lake. The stork, with its humanized expression and comic exaggeration, adds a touch of humor to the traditional New Year symbol of new beginnings and fresh starts. The chicks, still covered in specks of eggshell and damp feathers, are bundled up in blankets and caps, ready to be welcomed into their new home. The parents, dressed in their finest Victorian attire, eagerly await the arrival of their new additions with open arms. The water in the background reflects the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the scene. This card, with its anthropomorphic birds and humanized elements, showcases the playful and imaginative spirit of the late Victorian era. The use of humor and comic illustrations in greeting cards was a popular trend during this time, and this card is a delightful example of the genre. Robert Dudley was a prolific illustrator and designer, known for his humorous and lighthearted works. This card, with its charming depiction of a stork delivering new life on the first day of the New Year, is a testament to his talent and creativity.
