EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Easter card from the late 1890s showcases a beautiful fusion of nature and religion, featuring a cross-shaped design adorned with delicate white flowers and a serene dove perched at its center. The card's intricate ornamentation reflects the Victorian era's penchant for intricacy and elegance. The Biblical quotation inscribed on the card reads, "And he gave him the promise of the everlasting covenant. And put his hand between the parts; and he swore unto him in this word, Thou shalt not surely die: And he [God] said moreover, I am the Lord God, speaking unto thee, in the garden of Eden, every living creature is brought to thee for meat; at the mouth of every beast of the earth shall be the grass for thy clothing, and in the skins of it shalt thou put on, and it shall be with thee; a garment of skins, and at the skins of the beast shall thou wear it: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." (Genesis 3:15, New Testament - Ephesians 1:5) This passage from the Bible speaks of the promise of salvation and the eternal covenant between God and humanity, symbolizing the hope and renewal of life that Easter represents. The white flowers and dove on this card serve as symbolic representations of purity, peace, and the resurrection, making it a pretty and meaningful Easter greeting for the spring season. The card's historical significance adds to its value as a collectible piece, showcasing the rich symbolism and artistry of the late Victorian era.
