Allenburys Progressive System of Infant Feeding: A Vision of Nurture and Modernity in the 1920s This postcard, created in 1924 by renowned British artist Gladys Peto, showcases Allenburys' progressive approach to infant feeding. The image, rendered in the stylish Art Deco aesthetic that defined the era, depicts a mother in a contemporary setting, tenderly feeding her baby from a bottle adorned with the Allenburys label. The mother's confident and poised demeanor, combined with the sleek, streamlined design of the bottle and the modern, geometric background, underscore the forward-thinking nature of Allenburys' infant feeding system. The use of Art Deco style, with its emphasis on clean lines, bold shapes, and vibrant colors, further underscores the company's commitment to innovation and progress. Gladys Peto, a leading figure in the British art scene during the 1920s and 1930s, was known for her dynamic and expressive paintings, often featuring mother and child themes. Her work for Allenburys reflects her ability to capture the essence of nurturing and care, while also embodying the spirit of the times. This postcard is a testament to the way in which Allenburys embraced modernity and innovation in their approach to infant feeding, while also emphasizing the importance of the bond between mother and child. The image remains a striking and evocative representation of the era, and a reminder of the ways in which companies like Allenburys sought to meet the changing needs and expectations of consumers in the early 20th century.
