EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and quirky greetings card from the late 1890s, featuring a playful take on medicinal remedies. The card is designed in the shape of a bottle of "Black Draught" and a box of "Little Blue Pills," both intricately cut out from a single piece of paper. The bottle, with its distinctive red top and glass body, is meticulously detailed, complete with a label bearing the ominous-sounding name of the draught. The box of pills, nestled beneath the bottle, is equally detailed, with its square shape and tiny blue tablets, each one also labelled for added effect. This card, with its medicinal theme, would have been a popular choice for those seeking to offer comfort and humor to those suffering from various ailments during the late Victorian era. The use of the black draught and blue pills, while not explicitly stated, likely referenced common remedies for a range of ailments, from the common cold to more serious conditions. The card's comic touch adds to its appeal, making it a delightful find for collectors of vintage greetings cards and medical history enthusiasts alike. The card's intricate design and attention to detail showcase the craftsmanship and creativity of the era's greetings card makers. This unique piece, from The David Pearson Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of humor and connection in times of illness.
