EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hearty Soldier: A Victorian-era Comic Greetings Card Amidst the grandeur and solemnity of the Victorian era, a touch of naive humor found its way into the everyday through the form of comic greetings cards. This charming print, dated circa 1850s, showcases an overweight soldier standing at attention, a rifle slung over his shoulder, a mischievous smile playing upon his lips. The embossed card, adorned with intricate white designs, transports us back in time to an era of innocence and simple amusement. The soldier, dressed in his blue uniform, is a far cry from the lean, agile warriors we often associate with military service. His plump figure, however, does not diminish his determination or spirit. Instead, it adds to the lightheartedness of the scene, poking fun at the notion of military prowess and the expectations placed upon soldiers during this period. The verse on the card reads: "A plump and hearty soldier, with a jolly, rosy face, A rifle on his shoulder, and a smile upon his grace. Though his gun may be a trifle heavy for his size, He'll do or die, with a determined, soldier's eyes." This verse further emphasizes the soldier's spirit and determination, despite his physical appearance. The comic greetings card serves as a reminder that even in the most serious of times, a bit of humor and lightheartedness can bring joy and connection. This endearing print is a testament to the human spirit and the ability to find humor in the unexpected.
