EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian image of a cherubic figure reaching through an envelope on a greetings card. Dating back to the 1890s, this charming photograph captures the whimsical spirit of the era. The cherub, with his golden curls and rosy cheeks, gazes out at the viewer with a mischievous grin, as if he's about to share a secret. The envelope, with its torn edge and hole, suggests that this card has already been sent on its way, adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. The delicate paper of the card, worn with age, bears testament to the many hands that have held it over the years. The image of the cherub, a symbol of joy and happiness, would have brought a smile to the face of the recipient, making this a cherished keepsake. The idea of a cherub delivering mail or messages was a popular motif during the Victorian era, reflecting the importance of communication and connection in people's lives. This beautiful and intriguing photograph, part of The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to imagine the stories and memories it holds. Whether used as a decorative piece or as inspiration for a creative project, this cherubic image is sure to bring a touch of magic to any space.
