EDITORS COMMENTS
A Light-Hearted Salute to the Volunteer Soldier: Circa 1850s Amidst the solemnity and gravity of the Victorian era, a touch of whimsy and humor could be found even in the most unexpected places. This charming, embossed greetings card, featuring a thin, comic volunteer soldier with rifle, is a delightful testament to this fact. Dressed in his blue uniform, complete with a thin, skinny belt, this soldier stands at attention, a rifle slung over his shoulder, a cigar clenched between his teeth, and a mischievous grin on his face. The playful verse on the card reads: "A Volunteer, with a rifle in hand, Ready to guard our dear land, He smokes a cigar, and looks quite grand, And dreams of a soldier's sweet command." The soldier's pose, with one foot slightly raised and a twinkle in his eye, adds to the light-hearted tone of the card. The intricate white embossing on the card's border further enhances its vintage charm, transporting us back in time to the 1850s. This charming card, with its humorous take on the volunteer soldier, is a wonderful reminder of the human side of military life during the Victorian era. It invites us to appreciate the courage and dedication of these soldiers, even as it brings a smile to our faces with its comic touch.
