EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Foress Courting Envelope" takes us back to the romantic era of the 19th century. Published by Messrs Fores around 1840, this print showcases a delightful caricature of the Mulready envelope, a popular design during that time. The City of Westminster Archive Centre in London proudly houses this exquisite piece. Intriguingly, this artwork captures the essence of love and courtship in Victorian society. It transports us to an era where handwritten letters were cherished as tokens of affection and longing. The image portrays two lovers engaged in a tender moment, surrounded by fluttering love letters adorned with cupid's arrows. The artist skillfully conveys the emotions associated with declaring one's love through intricate engravings. Every detail is meticulously crafted to evoke nostalgia for a time when romance was expressed through beautifully written words on paper. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, it serves as a reminder that even in our modern world dominated by technology, there is still something magical about receiving heartfelt messages from loved ones. This print encapsulates the timeless nature of human connection and reminds us to cherish those moments when we express our deepest feelings to those who hold our hearts.
