EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian greetings card from the 1890s, featuring a beautiful image of a man's hand delicately holding a bouquet of flowers. The intricately designed oval card is adorned with a rich array of colors and textures, from the velvety petals of the pink, purple, and red roses, to the lush green leaves and stems, and the delicate white and blue forget-me-nots. The floral arrangement is artfully arranged on a fabric background, with gold edging and a tassel adding an elegant touch. The verse on the card reads, "Peace and quiet, peace and peace, I'd give thee all the world if I could but please thee; And in this little world of ours two, hand in hand, we'll wander ever true." The sentiment speaks to the deep connection and commitment shared between a man and a woman, be it during engagement, marriage, or simply a romantic moment. The design of the card is reminiscent of the Albert Marx and Company, a prominent producer of greeting cards during the late 19th century. The use of high-quality materials, such as the thick cardstock and intricate detailing, were hallmarks of their work. This beautiful card is a testament to the enduring power of love and the artistry of the past.
