Repopulation Postcards-CABBAGE PATCH KIDS / 1800s Cloning / Babylon Babies

Mind Unveiled

During our research on Old World Photoshop, we were looking through old surreal postcards and began to notice a very specific style of Old RPPC. These postcards were early photo manipulations of orphans and babies from the 1880s-1910 period. Something is disturbing about these old photos, which only worsened as we realized how many of these postcards there truly were. They have been collected and used as a source of inspiration by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Paul Éluard, André Breton, Hannah Höch, Herbert Bayer, and Man Ray. They show babies being grown in Cabbage Patches, hatching from eggs, cooked in fires, being hooked from the water, left in empty cities, being transported in trains or aerial vehicles, and sold as cattle.
