The postcard image of crying babies is from a weird little book, Babylon: Surreal Babies. (Check out the cover image.) These baby postcards, says editor James Birch, "had a great influence on many artists in the 1920s and 30s, and were collected by Paul Éluard, Andre Bréton, Salvador Dali, Hannah Höch, Herbert Bayer, and Man Ray."
Always so informative Fi! Love learning a new word and meaning. Good juxtaposition of Pantagruel over the surreal crying babies.
ReplyDeleteEven bigger than my big baby! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Angie about learning a lot of your information! A beautiful word 'Pantagruel'.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about the background babies is that they are all crying.
I like the mixture of all the crying babies and this contented giant one, Pantagruel.
ReplyDeletePantagruel...now my word of the week -- do you think my Lovely Spouse would be offended if I called him a pulchritudinous pantagruel?) Loved the cover on that Babylon book!
