Be My Little Apple Dumplin' Do,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating turn-of-the-century musical number penned by Walter H. Ford and John W. Bratton, comes to life in this enchanting 1901 cover illustration. Sung by the luminous Daisy Mayer, the song's playful and romantic lyrics are brought to visual life through the artistry of an unidentified illustrator. The image showcases a woman, dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion, with a demure expression as she gazes into the eyes of her suitor. Cherubs, embodying the spirit of Cupid, flank her, their wings outstretched, holding a plate laden with apple dumplings. The upper crust of the dumplings has been lifted, revealing a steaming, golden pudding beneath. The scene is set in the 1900s, an era of romance and courtship, where such a heartfelt gesture would have been considered a grand romantic gesture, akin to a marriage proposal. The woman's elegant attire, complete with a high collar and voluminous skirt, adds to the allure of the moment, while the cherubs, with their rosy cheeks and mischievous grins, serve as a reminder of the playful nature of love. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when love was expressed through simple, yet meaningful gestures. The apple dumplings, a symbol of warmth and comfort, serve as a reminder of the sweetness and tenderness that lies at the heart of every romantic connection.
