EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Victorian die cut greeting card takes us back to a bygone era, where intricate paper shapes were meticulously crafted by hand. The inside of the card reveals a delightful scene depicting a cat and her adorable kittens nestled snugly inside a vintage suitcase. The vibrant colors of this color lithograph bring life to the playful felines, capturing their mischievous expressions and fluffy fur with remarkable detail. Each tiny whisker seems to dance across the page, inviting us into their whimsical world. As we admire this piece from the 19th century English School, it's impossible not to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such delicate paper shapes. The technique of die cutting allowed for precise cuts and intricate designs that added depth and dimensionality to these greeting cards. In an age before digital printing, these handmade cards served as tokens of affection or well wishes for special occasions. They were treasured keepsakes that brought joy and warmth when received. Today, this particular print resides in a private collection but is made available through Bridgeman Images for all art enthusiasts to enjoy. It serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and invites us to cherish the beauty found in even the smallest details – like cats playing in suitcases on Victorian greeting cards.
