EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming Victorian greeting card, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where two children can be seen joyfully engaged in a playful tea party. The image is brought to life through the vibrant colors of the lithograph print, capturing our attention and evoking a sense of nostalgia. Seated on a small stool covered with an elegant cushion, the children are immersed in their imaginative world. A dainty teapot sits at the center of their make-believe table, surrounded by delicate teacups and saucers. With a cord tied around her neck like an apron and wearing a cap adorned with ribbons, one child takes on the role of hostess while pouring imaginary tea into each cup. The other child eagerly awaits her turn with spoon in hand. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the carefully illustrated backdrop that hints at an opulent Victorian interior. This greeting card serves as both entertainment for children and as a reminder of simpler times for adults. Preserved within this private collection, this photograph print captures not only an endearing moment between two young friends but also offers us a glimpse into historical customs and traditions surrounding tea time during that era. It reminds us of how playfulness knows no bounds when it comes to childhood imagination - even something as ordinary as having tea can become extraordinary in their eyes.
