I am sure that every new parent is dazzled by the marvelous creature that is born into the family.

This father is so young that the child he holds is likely to be his first.

Although held aloft in wonder and triumph, the baby is well-supported by the hands of the proud papa.

Papa is well-dressed, in an unbuttoned suit jacket and white shirt.

The postcard photograph lacks any indication of date or location.

The style of the postcard suggests a date circa 1910.

Blessings on all the fathers and mothers who greet their new-born children with pride and amazement.
