1921 Body Bowley Bunting Character Doll Dressing Enabling Garments Leonora Nursery Rhyme
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming postcard dates back to 1921 and features a delightful dressing doll image titled "Baby Bunting." The postcard is a cut-out design, allowing children to engage in an interactive and imaginative play experience. The nursery rhyme character depicted in this illustration is not identified by name, but her cheerful expression and the bunting draped around her body suggest a celebratory mood. The artist behind this whimsical creation is Ada Leonora Budley, a prolific illustrator and painter whose work graced numerous books, magazines, and ephemera during the early 20th century. Budley's illustrations often featured children and animals, imbued with a sense of joy and wonder that resonated with her audience. In this particular postcard, Budley's deft use of color and detail is on full display. The doll's clothing, which includes a bonnet, bodice, skirt, and boots, can be cut out and fitted on the doll's body, allowing children to engage in a fun and creative activity. This postcard not only serves as a beautiful keepsake but also offers a glimpse into the past, when such interactive toys and games were an essential part of childhood entertainment. The postcard's age adds to its allure, as it transports us back to a simpler time when the joy of dressing a doll could provide hours of amusement. Today, this vintage postcard remains a cherished piece of nostalgia, a testament to the enduring appeal of Ada Leonora Budley's art and the magic of imaginative play.
