EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite masterpiece by the Mullord Brothers, dates back to the 19th century, hailing from Britain. This work of art is a testament to the intricacy and elegance of Victorian-era greeting cards. The collaged elements on cut and embossed designed ivory wove paper, laid down on blue printed ivory wove paper, showcase an array of amorini, or cherubs, playfully interacting among a lush arrangement of flowers. The close-up perspective invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details of the cherubs' delicate features and the delicate petals of the flowers. The color palette, dominated by white and pastel hues, adds to the romantic and ethereal atmosphere of the piece. This artwork, now held in the prestigious collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, was originally intended as a Valentine's Day card. The concept of sending romantic messages through art was a popular tradition during the Victorian era, and this piece exemplifies the beauty and sentimentality of the practice. The use of collaged elements and embossed designs adds an additional layer of visual interest and decoration to the card. The combination of nature and putti, or cherubs, is a common motif in Victorian-era Valentine's cards, symbolizing the connection between love and the beauty of the natural world. This untitled work by the Mullord Brothers is a stunning example of the heritage art and craftsmanship that went into creating Valentine's Day greetings during the 19th century. Its intricate details and romantic concept continue to captivate and inspire viewers today.
