I’m going to do a Mother’s Day bulletin board for a medium sized public library displaying famous and-or historically significant and-or striking images of mothers. I also want to have some images of the mothers of famous people.
What are some of your favorite images of mothers?
Are there any famous people whose non-famous mothers you find particularly interesting?
Because of size limitations I don’t want to do mothers of the infamous or infamous mothers- so, no Mama Hitler or Joan Crawford, though I might include George Washington’s lookalike mother Mary Ball even though their relationship was famously strained, though I’d rather concentrate on the more positive.
Sarah Bush Lincoln (who Lincoln called “mother”) as a salute to stepmothers and other women who mothered children they did not give birth to
And others.
Any suggestions for images to add? I’m looking for interesting AND-OR iconic AND-OR just visually appealing.
Since this is a non-profit organization and no money’s being raised by said board I’m thinking that fair use covers anything printed out.
I had a post with some links and I must have fat fingered it :mad: Anyway, Mother Teresa would be appropriate, even though she’s not that kind of mother. For some humor and pop reference you could include Florence Henderson as Mrs. Brady. Mama animals with their babies are always cute; I think mother ducks with their ducklings in tow are especially representative of a mother’s love.
Coincidentally I just took some pics at the park by my house last night of what I think is a duck relative of the Duggar family with her twelve (12) ducklings. Thanks for the suggestion.
