Parrots for Wednesday Whimsy

I picked this subject for today’s whimsy for no other reason than I enjoyed the Victorian trade cards I found when I ��went searching in my collection for Wednesday inspiration. The Victorians seemed to utilize the colorful bird in their advertising for all sorts of products.

Here’s a great quote from American humorist Will Rogers:

“Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip.”

I’ve never owned a parrot but I once knew a guy who had inherited a parrot...

One Hundred Years Hence 1880s Steam Style

I’ve been saving this little group of late Victorian era trade cards to share with you for the new year – they certainly had a lot of faith in steam power!

There was a whole group of these cards up on eBay last year (like the pair above) but I only captured two of them – spirited bidding went beyond my hard limit on the others. I’ll fill out today’s Wednesday Whimsy post with a couple of cards from the same general time, where baking soda was the propulsion! But first a French post card with a...
