EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming colour lithograph captures a humorous and romantic scene from classic times, depicting how men proposed in ancient Greece. The satirical drawing shows a man on bended knee, presenting a ring to a woman with a playful smile on her face. The postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, offers a whimsical glimpse into the art of seduction and courtship in antiquity.
The artist, Sydney Carter (1874-1945), has beautifully captured the essence of love and romance in this delightful illustration. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring this historical moment to life, showcasing the timeless theme of love that transcends generations.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the universal nature of love and how it has been expressed throughout history. From grand gestures to subtle charms, the art of proposing has always held a special place in human relationships.
Whether through humour or heartfelt sincerity, this print serves as a nostalgic reminder of the enduring power of love. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences with romance and reminds us that no matter the time period or culture, love remains an essential part of the human experience.
