EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a bygone era with this enchanting Victorian-era greetings card featuring boys delighting in the simple pleasure of sailing a model boat on a serene pond. Dressed in their Sunday best, the boys intently focus on their miniature vessel, their faces reflecting a sense of joy and concentration. The idyllic scene is further enhanced by the picturesque garden setting, complete with a quaint house in the background and a girl playing with her doll near the water's edge. The handwritten verse on the card, penned in elegant script, reads: "Pull, tab, pull, tab, swiftly now, boys, through the water's glassy way, Let us see your boat go, swift and gay, On the pond so still and clear. Boys, let us watch it sail, as it glides through the tranquil air, With a hearty 'Hurrah!' let us cheer, For the joy of childhood's purest cheer." The movable tab at the bottom of the card allows the image to be lifted, revealing the heartfelt message, making this a thoughtful and unique way to express your sentiments. This charming card, reminiscent of a time when life moved at a slower pace, is a delightful way to convey your warmest wishes to loved ones.
