EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Victorian Moment: Old Maid with Cat on Comic Greetings Card, Circa 1860s Step back in time with this delightful Victorian-era greetings card featuring an old maid in an elegant purple dress, proudly holding a feline companion on her lap. The playful and humorous illustration, dating back to the 1860s, showcases the quirky sense of humor prevalent during this period. The old maid, with her wrinkled appearance and graying hair, is a common stereotype from the Victorian era, often used to poke fun at the aging process and the perceived loss of youth and beauty. However, in this charming depiction, she is not portrayed as a pitiful or ugly figure, but rather as a content and happy woman, enjoying the company of her beloved pet cat. The cat, with its mischievous expression and playful pose, adds an element of amusement to the scene, further emphasizing the light-hearted and comic nature of the card. The intricate details of the old maid's dress and the elegant folds of her skirt showcase the high-quality craftsmanship of Victorian-era greetings cards. The verse on the card reads: "An Old Maid with a Purple Dress, And a Cat on her Lap to caress, Sits contented, and feels no less, Than a Queen in her royal dress." This charming card offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique sense of humor and artistic style of the Victorian era. Despite the potential for ageism and misogyny in the old maid stereotype, this card celebrates the joy and companionship found in the simple pleasures of life, regardless of age or appearance.
