EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian greeting card transports us back to the enchanting era of the 19th century. The beautifully colored lithograph depicts a celestial angel, her delicate wings spread wide, as she gently places her hand on a kneeling knight. The image exudes an air of celebration and wonder, with palm trees adorning the background and a radiant halo encircling the angel's head. The symbolism within this artwork is profound. The presence of a cross signifies faith and spirituality, while the shield held by the knight suggests bravery and protection. A skull at his feet serves as a reminder of mortality amidst this ethereal scene. This exquisite print captures not only the artistic style popular during Victorian times but also reflects their fascination with angels and heavenly beings. Greeting cards were often used to convey heartfelt messages or well wishes during special occasions, making this piece even more significant. Preserved in a private collection, it is evident that this image holds great historical value. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of an era where artistry flourished alongside deep-rooted beliefs in divine intervention. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to these cherished relics from our past – windows into worlds long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and appreciation for beauty.
