EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the timeless and enchanting legend of a stork bringing a newborn baby. Dating back to circa 1900, this German print showcases a majestic stork in flight, cradling a freshly delivered infant in its large, webbed feet. The stork's beak is gently tucked under its wing, protecting the fragile new life as it soars gracefully over a quaint, red-roofed house. The tradition of storks delivering babies originated in Europe, with the belief that the birds would nest on the rooftops of houses where expectant mothers lived. As the due date approached, the expectant mother would hang a shoe outside her window as a sign for the stork. According to the legend, the stork would then deliver the baby and leave it in the shoe. This charming print encapsulates the magic and wonder of new life, as well as the deep-rooted beliefs and folklore of a bygone era. The intricate details of the stork's plumage, the delicate features of the newborn baby, and the quaintness of the house all contribute to the enchanting scene. This image is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of tradition and the miracle of birth.
