EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning greeting card, created by Johannes Endletzberger in 1810, is a true masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. The intricate details and luxurious materials used make it a treasure from the 19th century. The gold-framed collage on silk depicts a beautiful scene with birds and flowers, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing nature's beauty. The use of gouache, metallic paint, metallic foil, embossed and punched paper adds depth and texture to the artwork. The card features a gold rod adorned with doves symbolizing peace and happiness. An envelope made of mother-of-pearl adds an exquisite touch to this already opulent piece. A writing plume completes the ensemble, emphasizing the importance of communication during that era. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art represents not only Austrian culture but also German artistic influences prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of how greetings were conveyed through beautifully crafted cards instead of modern-day digital messages. Endletzberger's creation showcases his mastery in combining different mediums like textiles and shellwork to create something truly unique. This photograph print captures every minute detail for us to appreciate even centuries later. As we admire this extraordinary work of art today, let us be transported back to an era where handwritten letters were cherished expressions of love or friendship. Let it remind us that amidst our fast-paced world, taking time to send heartfelt greetings can bring joy both to ourselves and those who receive them.
