Candle Candles Cutout Eating Mice Nibble Nibbling Shape Shaped Vermin Wick
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late Victorian greetings card, dating back to the 1890s, features a delightful scene of two mice sitting cozily by a candle, nibbling on some cheese. The candle, with its intricately shaped wax and wick, is the centerpiece of the card, casting a warm and inviting glow over the scene. The mice, with their expressive features and detailed fur, appear to be enjoying a quiet moment together, seemingly unaware of the outside world. The card's design showcases the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the Victorian era, with the cutout shape of the candle and mice adding an extra dimension to the image. The use of mice, often associated with the passage of time and the changing of the seasons, was a popular motif in Victorian art and literature. The card's simple yet endearing message conveys a sense of warmth, comfort, and companionship. The image of the mice enjoying a quiet moment by the candle is a reminder of the simple pleasures in life and the joy that can be found in the smallest of things. This beautiful card would have been a treasured possession, making a thoughtful and heartfelt gesture for a friend or loved one during the Victorian era.
