Object of the Day, Caption Contest: Oyster Boy

Click image to get out of your shell.



I suppose this is where Victorian babies came from. No wonder they had a short shelf life overall. Seafood is very perishable.

I wish I had something intelligent to say about the late Nineteenth Century scrap. But, you know as much about it as I do. All we know is what’s visible. Naked baby coming out of an oyster shell. 

And, so, let’s have a caption contest. Answers in the comments section, please.
