(1909): A Humorous Take on Proving Paternity During Childbirth This delightful cartoon print from 1909, titled "But Is It Mine?" depicts a father-to-be in a state of confusion and disbelief as he gazes at a newly born baby in the hospital. The scene is filled with amusing details that highlight the anticipation, excitement, and uncertainty that comes with the arrival of a newborn. The cartoon shows a doctor holding up a baby, with the father standing behind him, looking at the infant with a quizzical expression. The father's hands are raised in a questioning gesture, as if asking, "But is it mine?" The doctor, with a knowing smile, points to a certificate on the wall, which reads "Births Registered." The father's wife, seated in a bed nearby, looks on with a mixture of amusement and sympathy. The cartoon captures the essence of the anxieties and doubts that can arise during childbirth, especially in an era before modern paternity testing. The father's concern about the baby's paternity is a common theme in literature and art throughout history. This charming print, with its light-hearted take on the situation, serves as a reminder of the joys and challenges of starting a family. The intricate details and fine lines in the print demonstrate the skill and artistry of the illustrator, who expertly conveys the emotions and expressions of the characters. The muted colors and soft shading add to the nostalgic feel of the image, transporting us back to a simpler time in history. Overall, "But Is It Mine?" is a delightful and enduring piece of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
