Description

Babies hatch from eggs, bubble from cauldrons, are fished from rivers, emerge in the cabbage patch, sit atop clouds, and ride in zeppelins. They play instruments, drive automobiles, fly in balloons, harvest the fields; an anarchistic world of baby heaven.

The postcards were a source of inspiration to many artists in the 1920s and '30s, in particular to both the Dadaists and the Surrealists. They were collected by Paul luard, Andr Breton, Salvador Dal , Hannah H ch, Herbert Bayer, and Man Ray. The popular images excited inspiration in these artists because of their boundless inventiveness.
