    Description

    This vintage Victorian greeting card features artwork by Ellen Jessie Andrews. In it we can see a young man in Colonial dress wooing a young woman and inside kissing her. It is die cut, embossed, and gilded, and has the original ribbon which holds the two pieces together. Circa 1895. Note it was hard to take photos of the inside because of the intact ribbon.
    Condition:
    Good: with two pinholes at the top, some surface dirt/scuffing, some yellowing of the paper with age, and some very minor edge distress. See photos for details, and my About Me for more info on how we grade our cards.
    Size:
    Approximately 4.5" high by 5" wide.
