EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian greeting card transports us back to the 19th century, where Father Time and an angel take center stage in a whimsical scene. The image showcases an intricately designed chariot with clock wheels, drawn by a majestic ram. As the chariot glides through the skies, the angel gracefully holds a scythe, symbolizing the passage of time. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the delicate wings of the angel to Father Time's fur-trimmed hat, every element exudes elegance and charm. The artist's playful touch can be seen in this imaginative portrayal of these iconic figures. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to this enchanting scene. Holly leaves adorn both sides of the chariot, adding a festive touch that hints at holiday greetings exchanged during that era. This print captures not only artistic beauty but also reflects Victorian sentiments towards time and mortality. It serves as a reminder for viewers to cherish each passing moment while embracing change and growth. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate English School's artistry from over a century ago. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as we marvel at its intricate details and contemplate our own journey through time.
