EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian-era acquaintance card from the late 1890s, now available as a beautiful print from Mary Evans Prints Online. This exquisite piece of history invites us to imagine a romantic encounter between two acquaintances, as a cherubic putto extends a hand bearing a pair of joined rings. The rings, symbolizing the deepening bond between the two individuals, are delicately intertwined, suggesting a proposal of love or a request for a private interview, "entré nous." The cherubs, or putti, are common motifs in Victorian art, representing love, joy, and the innocence of youth. Their presence adds an air of whimsy and charm to this already captivating card. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the expressive faces of the cherubs, transport us to a bygone era of courtship and romance. This print is not only a stunning addition to any home decor, but also a reminder of the enduring power of love and the beauty of the past.
