EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gelatin silver print, titled "In Olden Times, if Folks Were Good, the Stork Would Bring a Baby Sweet and Fair" takes us back to the enchanting era of 1907. The image is a stereocard produced by the Keystone View Company and now housed in the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art. The photograph transports us into a whimsical fairy tale world where myth and reality intertwine. A majestic stork gracefully soars through the sky, carrying a precious bundle wrapped in cloth with delicate care. In this charming narrative, it was believed that if people were virtuous enough, these wading birds would bring them beautiful babies. The composition showcases intricate details such as multiple chimneys dotting the rooftops below. These architectural elements symbolize homes filled with hope and anticipation for new arrivals. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this monochromatic scene while emphasizing the ethereal nature of this timeless legend. Through its artistic lens, this gelatin silver print captures not only an age-old belief but also reflects on literature's influence on society during that period. It serves as a reminder of how stories shape our cultural heritage while leaving room for imagination to flourish. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from over a century ago, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with myths and traditions that have shaped our understanding of life's miracles – like welcoming newborns into loving families.
