Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: A Vintage Dressing Game from 1921 Step into the whimsical world of a bygone era with this charming cut-out postcard featuring the beloved nursery rhyme character, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. Dated back to 1921, this vintage treasure invites children to engage in an imaginative dressing game. The postcard, which measures approximately 11 x 8.5 cm, showcases Mary standing before a quaint garden backdrop, her arms outstretched, and her face beaming with delight. Below her, a series of intricately detailed cut-out garments await to be fitted onto her body. The ensemble includes a bonnet, shawl, dress, petticoat, and shoes. Each piece boasts delicate patterns and textures, reflecting the fashion trends of the early 20th century. The dress, for instance, is adorned with intricate floral designs, while the petticoat boasts ruffles and lace. The artist behind this delightful creation is Ada Leonora Bowley, a renowned English illustrator and designer. Bowley was known for her whimsical and intricate illustrations, which often featured children and animals. Her work graced numerous books, postcards, and advertisements throughout the early 1900s. This postcard is not only a captivating piece of art but also an educational tool that encourages children to develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination as they cut out and fit the garments onto Mary's body. It's a delightful window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and playtime activities of a bygone era.
