EDITORS COMMENTS
This late Victorian greetings card, dating back to the 1890s, showcases an elegant oval design adorned with intricate floral motifs and delicate lace patterns. The card's primary feature is a charming love letter, addressed to "L. Amour," which adds an intimate and romantic touch. The letter is written in elegant script, with the sender's name and location carefully inscribed at the bottom. The card's design is further enhanced by a pull tab at the bottom left corner, which, when pulled, reveals a hidden message that reads, "Wunsch mir dein Liebeswort," which translates to "Wish me your loving word" in English. This playful feature adds an interactive element to the card, making it a thoughtful and engaging expression of affection. The card's vintage charm and intricate details transport us back to a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia and romance.

This exquisite piece of late Victorian art is a testament to the enduring power of love and the creative ways in which it has been expressed throughout history. The combination of the beautiful design, the heartfelt letter, and the hidden message make this card a truly special find for anyone with an appreciation for history, romance, or the art of letter writing.
