A Happy New Year from Our Home to Yours,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by May Bowley (circa 1910) This charming and nostalgic image, titled "A Happy New Year from Our Home to Yours," is a beautiful New Year's postcard designed by the talented English artist, May Bowley, around the year 1910. The scene portrays the joyful moment of two young children, a boy and a girl, gathered around a delightful porcelain doll, which appears to be a cherished family heirloom. The children's expressions of wonder and excitement are captured perfectly, as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of the New Year with the doll as their companion. May Bowley's masterful use of color and composition adds to the overall warmth and inviting nature of the illustration. The children's clothing, with the girl wearing a red dress and the boy in a blue sweater, contrasts beautifully against the muted background tones. The intricate details of the doll's porcelain features and its elegant Victorian-era attire further highlight the sense of tradition and nostalgia. The image was designed as a postcard for the US market, making it a treasured keepsake for families across the country to share with their loved ones during the holiday season. Bowley's ability to capture the essence of childhood joy and the excitement of the New Year makes this postcard a timeless piece that continues to delight collectors and history enthusiasts today. May Bowley's artistic talent extends beyond this postcard, as she was known for her illustrations in various publications, including "The Strand Magazine" and "The Graphic." Her work showcases her exceptional ability to bring everyday scenes to life, making them both relatable and captivating. This "A Happy New Year from Our Home to Yours" postcard remains a testament to Bowley's artistic prowess and her enduring contribution to the world of illustration.
