EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite late Victorian romantic greetings card, dating back to the 1890s, features a stunning image of water lilies floating gracefully on a serene, glassy surface. The vibrant yellows and pinks of the blossoms contrast beautifully with the lush green foliage, creating a breathtaking scene that speaks to the beauty and allure of nature. Surrounding the image, delicate cursive script spells out a heartfelt verse, expressing the depth of love and affection between two souls. The poem, with its Eastern-inspired, pagan undertones, adds an air of the sacred and mystical to the already enchanting design. The card's color palette, with its rich hues of red, white, and blue, evokes the passion and romance often associated with the late Victorian era. The presence of birds in the scene, perched gracefully on the lily pads, adds a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the overall composition. This romantic greetings card is a testament to the enduring power of love and the beauty of nature, and serves as a reminder of the deep emotional connections that have shaped human history for centuries. Its intricate design and poetic verse make it a truly special find for collectors of historical art and antique greeting cards.
