EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Victorian lace-edged mechanical greeting card adorned with an exquisite arrangement of flowers. The tiered circle design is nothing short of mesmerizing, drawing the viewer's attention to every delicate detail. Atop this floral masterpiece sits a butterfly motif, adding a touch of whimsy and enchantment. Dating back to around 1880, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Victorian elegance and craftsmanship. The pull tab mechanism brings the card to life, animating the daisies, violets, tulips, forget-me-nots, and roses in graceful motion. It is as if these blossoms are dancing before our eyes. The intricate lace edging adds an extra layer of sophistication and intricacy to this already stunning piece. Each petal seems meticulously crafted with care and precision. This greeting card truly exemplifies the artistry that was prevalent during the 19th century. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper connection to botany and natural history. This mechanical wonder not only celebrates flowers but also pays homage to insects like butterflies that play an essential role in pollination. Preserved within a private collection today, this photograph by eDavid Pearson allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and scientific significance behind such creations from yesteryears. It serves as a testament to human creativity while reminding us of nature's wonders that continue to inspire generations after generations.
