EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting turn-of-the-century greetings card features an ethereal angel in full regalia, her long flowing robes billowing gently in the breeze as she hovers among a serene scene of birds and flowers. The delicate wings of the angel spread wide behind her, a symbol of divine protection and grace. Surrounding her are doves, the messengers of peace, and lilies, a traditional emblem of purity and righteousness. The words inscribed on the card are from a beloved hymn, adding an extra layer of spiritual significance to the image. The hymn, "Abide with Me," was written by Henry Lyte in 1847 and has been a cherished part of Christian worship for generations. Its lyrics express a deep longing for God's presence and guidance in times of need. This exquisite card, with its intricate border design and beautiful watercolor illustration, is a testament to the rich artistic and religious traditions of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Edwardian era, during which this card was likely produced, was marked by a renewed interest in spirituality and a desire to express deep emotions through art and literature. As you hold this card in your hands, you can almost hear the haunting melody of "Abide with Me" and feel the peace and comfort that comes from knowing you are not alone in your journey through life. This card is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of God's creation.
