A Humorous Victorian Take on Marital Frustrations: A Comic Greetings Card from the 1850s This charming, vintage greetings card from the 1850s showcases a humorous depiction of a married couple's domestic dispute. The card's white background is elegantly framed by an intricately embossed border, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. At the center, a frustrated wife stands by the fireplace, her arms folded and a disapproving look on her face. Her husband, fast asleep on a nearby chair, is shown with a bottle of alcohol nearby, suggesting his inebriated state. The husband's snoring is emphasized by a pull tab at the bottom of the card, adding an interactive element to the design. The verse on the card reads, "My dear, I'm home at last, And oh, how glad I am to be, But where, my dear, have you been all night? And what, my dear, is this bottle here?" The missing lines suggest the wife's growing anger and disappointment. Despite the light-hearted tone, this comic greetings card offers a glimpse into the everyday challenges of married life during the Victorian era. Its intricate design and humorous verse continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished piece of historical art and a reminder of the enduring nature of marital humor.
