A Charming Victorian Greetings Card: Skinny Soldier with Rifle Step back in time with this delightful Victorian-era greetings card featuring a skinny soldier, circa 1850s. The card, adorned with an embossed white border, showcases two men in blue uniforms, each holding a rifle and displaying a thin, almost comically naive appearance. Their innocent expressions and posture exude a sense of camaraderie and light-heartedness, making this card an ideal choice for conveying a humorous message. The verse on the card reads: "Two thin soldiers, with rifles in hand, Waiting for orders to march through the sand, One asked the other, with a grin, 'How do you manage to keep from within, The hunger that gnaws, and the craving for bread, That makes us so thin, and our bodies so dead?' The other replied, with a wink and a laugh, 'I just think of the pudding, and the roast beef and the rashers, And the jam tarts, and the plum puddings, And the mince pies, and the Christmas puddings, And the roast turkey, with its golden brown skin, And the plump pigeon, with its tender pink tin, And the jellies, and the pies, and the puddings, And the pork pies, and the sausages, and the scones, And the cakes, and the pasties, and the buns, And the treacle, and the toffee, and the honey, And the gingerbread, and the gingerbread men, And the figgy pudding, and the mincemeat, And the Christmas pudding, and the plum pudding, And the brandy, and the sherry, and the wine, And the beer, and the ale, and the cider, And the pies, and the puddings, and the pies, And the pies, and the puddings, and the pies!' This charming card, with its comic verse and naive depiction of soldiers, offers a delightful glimpse into the Victorian era and the sense of humor that pervaded the time. It is a truly unique and thoughtful addition to any collection of vintage greetings cards.
