EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite turn-of-the-century German greetings card features a charming cherub holding a bouquet of red, pink, blue, and white flowers. The cherub, with its chubby body, wings outstretched, and serene expression, embodies the essence of love, belief, and hope. The card's ornate design, with its intricate gold edging and delicate floral motifs, adds to the romantic atmosphere. The card's inscription, written in elegant script, further emphasizes the card's message of love and hope. The cherub, a popular motif in European art, symbolizes the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the spiritual and emotional aspects of love. The use of cherubs in romantic cards became popular during the Victorian era, when courtship and romantic expression were often expressed through the exchange of handwritten letters and sentimental gifts. This particular card, with its beautiful flowers and heartfelt inscription, would have been a cherished gift during the 1890s. The card's vibrant colors and intricate design reflect the ornate aesthetic of the time, while its message of love, belief, and hope continues to resonate with us today. The card's history adds to its charm, as it serves as a reminder of a bygone era when romantic expression was more elaborate and more meaningful. This cherub-adorned card, with its timeless message and beautiful design, remains a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of expressing our deepest feelings to those we care about.
