EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting three-dimensional Victorian-era German greetings card, dating back to the late 1890s. The card's intricate design exudes an air of elegance and charm, transporting us to a bygone era. At the heart of the card lies a beautiful bouquet of white flowers, delicately arranged and artfully rendered in intricate detail. The petals are so lifelike, it's as if they've been plucked straight from a garden and placed onto the card. Ribbons of various hues and textures, intertwined among the blossoms, add a touch of whimsy and playfulness. But this card is not just a celebration of nature's beauty. Tucked among the flowers, a small bird perches, its wings outstretched, as if ready to take flight. The bird, a symbol of freedom and good luck, adds an element of surprise and delight. The card's three-dimensional quality is further emphasized by the inclusion of coins, scattered amongst the flowers and ribbons. Money was often used as a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Victorian times, making this card a thoughtful and meaningful gift. The intricate detail and craftsmanship of this card are a testament to the artistry and skill of the Victorian era. It's a beautiful reminder of a time when sending a heartfelt message to a loved one was an art form in and of itself.
