Chums Eileen Hood Humphrey Milford Postcards 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard print, titled "Chums" and published by Humphrey Milford in 1922, captures the heartwarming bond between a young boy and his beloved pets. The artist, Eileen Hood, skillfully painted this scene, which is part of Milford's "Little Ones" series. The image showcases a young boy, dressed in a crisp shirt and shorts, sitting on the grass in a lush, green setting. Two playful dogs, one a collie and the other a terrier, surround him, nuzzling and licking his face in affection. The boy's joy is evident in his beaming smile, and the dogs' expressions convey their unwavering loyalty and companionship. The year 1922 marks a significant time in history, as the world was recovering from the devastating effects of World War I. This postcard, with its idyllic scene of childhood innocence and the unbreakable bond between a boy and his pets, would have provided a welcome respite from the harsh realities of the time. The "Chums" print is a testament to the enduring power of the human-animal connection and the simple pleasures of childhood. Eileen Hood was a talented artist, whose work was featured in various publications, including the "Little Ones" series by Humphrey Milford. Her ability to capture the essence of childhood and the emotions of the human experience is evident in this beautiful postcard print. The "Chums" series, with its focus on the joys of childhood and the companionship of pets, resonated with audiences during this time and continues to do so today.
