EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Victorian decoupage embossed paper lace greeting card transports us back to the romantic era of the 19th century. The delicate craftsmanship and intricate details are truly mesmerizing. At its center, a cherubic cupid with his wings spread wide, surrounded by an abundance of fabric flowers in vibrant hues. The artist's skillful use of color lithography brings this piece to life, showcasing the beauty of each individual flower - from forget-me-nots to roses - meticulously arranged around cupid. The combination of paper scraps and fabric flowers adds depth and texture to the composition, creating a three-dimensional effect that captivates the viewer. This greeting card is not just a simple token; it is a work of art that symbolizes love and romance. It speaks volumes about the sentimentality and attention given to expressing affection during this period. Each element carefully chosen - from the selection of flowers representing different emotions to cupid himself, known as the god of desire and affection. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we can't help but appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, where digital greetings have become commonplace, there is something timeless about receiving a tangible expression of love through such beautifully crafted cards. Through this photograph print by eDavid Pearson for Bridgeman Images, we are able to admire not only English School's talent but also gain insight into Victorian culture's appreciation for botany, natural history, science, and floral motifs in their artwork
