Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era greetings card featuring a cherub with a white dove and a cascade of pink roses. Dating back to the 1890s, this exquisite card showcases the intricate detail and ornate design that was characteristic of the Victorian era. The cherub, a mythological figure often depicted as a chubby, winged infant, is shown here with a serene expression as he cradles a delicate white dove in one hand. The dove, a symbol of peace and tranquility, rests gently on the cherub's outstretched palm. In the other hand, the cherub holds a bouquet of pink roses, their lush petals and vibrant hues adding a touch of romance and sensuality to the scene. The background of the card is adorned with intricately detailed green leaves and stems, creating a lush and textured backdrop for the cherub and dove. The oval shape of the card is framed with an ornate gold edging, adding an elegant and sophisticated touch. This beautiful card is a testament to the rich history and symbolism of Victorian-era greetings cards. The use of cherubs, wings, angels, and flowers was common during this period, reflecting the Victorian fascination with mythology, nature, and the supernatural. The rose, in particular, was a popular motif, representing love, beauty, and the passage of time. As you hold this vintage card in your hands, you can almost hear the rustle of the paper, feel the weight of the ink, and imagine the delight of the person who received it over a century ago. A true treasure for collectors of antique greetings cards and lovers of Victorian art and design.
