EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from the 19th century showcases an advertisement for Wells Richardson & Co. Lactated Food, leaving us wondering: "What are these babies after?". The image features a group of adorable infants, their curious eyes fixated on something just out of frame. The composition is beautifully executed, capturing the innocence and charm of childhood. Each child's face tells a unique story - some appear content and satisfied, while others seem to be eagerly reaching out towards an unseen object. Their tiny hands grasping at the air evoke a sense of anticipation and wonder. Wells Richardson & Co. Lactated Food was known for its nutritional value in aiding infant growth and development during this era. This trade card serves as a testament to the company's commitment to providing nourishment for young children. Printed by Donaldson Brothers in New York City, this lithograph exemplifies the artistic style prevalent during that time period. The fine details and delicate lines showcase the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such prints. Preserved by the New-York Historical Society, this piece offers us a glimpse into advertising history while also reminding us of our universal fascination with babies' well-being.
