EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming Good Luck greetings card from the late Victorian era, circa 1890s. The front of the card features an intricately designed illustration of playing cards arranged in a heart shape, with the Queen of Hearts taking center stage. The red background adds a pop of color and complements the elegant design of the playing cards. The Queen of Hearts, dressed in her regal attire, holds a scepter in one hand and a playing card in the other, while a ten, jack, and king of various suits are arranged around her. The ace of hearts is placed at the bottom of the heart-shaped formation, completing the design. The use of playing cards as a symbol of good luck can be traced back to the 15th century, and this tradition continued well into the Victorian era. The cards were believed to bring good fortune and success, making them a popular motif for greeting cards. This beautiful card would have been a treasured possession during the late 1800s. It is a testament to the intricate detail and craftsmanship that went into creating such items during this period. The card's design is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of playing cards and their use as symbols of good luck and fortune.
