Meet Doctor Baby, Army Baby, Biscuit Baby, Radio Baby and many more in this colourful, highly unusual and very funny collection of extreme cuteness. Throughout India images of babies appear everywhere – on posters, in calendars and on billboards. But these are no ordinary babies – Chairman baby, Scientist baby, Farmer Baby – all make an appearance. Carriers of dreams, both personal and social, babies find themselves in a bewildering and delightful variety of professions and roles. These odd and bizarre arrangements at once confound and confirm our sense of the ‘cute’. One hundred classic baby posters go to make this extravagant book unashamedly zany and happy. This is the first ever collection of these wonderful images – a perfect gift book for parents, would-be parents, grandparents – in fact it’s a book for everyone.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
