En Stockholmsutflykt

En Stockholmsutflykt
Google translates "En Stockholmsutflykt" as "A Stockholm Excursion," and Strömparterren is a park in Stockholm, but I'm not sure why this postcard shows Mary Poppins' brother coming in for a landing.

Oh, I'd forgotten that Mary Poppins was turning 50! I'm still puzzled, though, by early postcards like this (there are a handful of others that show up in Google searches) that are actually unrelated to Mary Poppins as far as I can tell.

It makes me think of Rene Magritte, too, although Magritte looked nothing like this fellow.

Yes, Mary Poppins was my immediate thought, too!
