EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming greetings card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The card, shaped like a dustpan and brush, adds a playful touch to this heartwarming scene of a housemaid and her suitor. Dressed in a pink gown and apron, the housemaid tenderly sweeps the floor as her suitor reaches out a hand, offering her a handbrush with bristles softened by use. The intricate cutout design of the dustpan and brush frame the couple, transporting us to a time when romance was as simple as a gesture of kindness and consideration. The servant class, often portrayed as the backbone of Victorian society, were an integral part of the social fabric, and this card captures the essence of their daily lives and the courtship rituals of the time. A beautiful and unique way to express love and affection, this card is a testament to the enduring power of romance and the simple joys of everyday life in the late 1800s.
