EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Victorian deckle edge mechanical sand card, we are transported back to the 19th century where a man finds solace in his dimly lit cellar. With a bottle in hand and a glass raised to his lips, he indulges in the pleasures of drink. However, he is not alone in this secret sanctuary; a mischievous monkey perches on a barrel nearby, observing every sip with curious eyes. The vibrant colors of this color litho print bring life to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of both the man's attire and the monkey's fur. The animated nature of this greeting card adds an element of surprise as one pulls at its tab, revealing movement within. This unique piece from an English School artist captures both the elegance and whimsy that defined Victorian aesthetics. The deckle edge framing adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this charming depiction. Preserved within a private collection, this print by eDavid Pearson allows us to appreciate and admire not only its artistic value but also offers us insight into past customs and forms of entertainment. It reminds us that even amidst our modern world, there is still beauty to be found in uncovering forgotten treasures from times gone by.
