EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print depicts St. George, the brave and virtuous knight from Toytown, preparing to confront a fearsome dragon. Hailing from the Toytown Folk series published by Humphrey Milford and illustrated by Sydney George Hulme-Beaman in 1930, this postcard is a delightful piece of historical art that has captured the imagination of children for generations. St. George, dressed in his iconic red armor and wielding a shining sword, stands confidently with one foot forward, ready to strike the dragon that lies before him. The dragon, with its menacing scales and fiery breath, is poised to attack, adding an element of excitement and danger to the scene. The background is adorned with a lush green landscape, complete with towering trees and a tranquil pond, creating a picturesque setting for this epic battle. Sydney George Hulme-Beaman's intricate and detailed illustration style brings the characters of Toytown to life, making this print a must-have for collectors of vintage children's art and those who appreciate the rich history of folklore and legend. The Toytown Folk series, published by Humphrey Milford, was a popular collection of postcards that featured various characters from children's stories and fairy tales, making it a beloved part of many families' collections during the early 20th century. This beautifully preserved print is a testament to the enduring appeal of St. George and the Dragon, a tale that has been passed down through the ages, inspiring courage, bravery, and the power of good over evil.
