Rossetti "Love" Victorian Postcard
Postcard: "Love" (Christina Rossetti), vintage art and historical poetry with a modern twist. A medieval couple share their love and joy in this lovely Victorian illustration of 1846 by Daniel Maclise and F. P. Becker. The original black-and-white engraving is in the public domain, and I've remixed it with a modern twist by digitally hand-colouring it. To complement the enchanting imagery, I've incorporated the beautiful 1857 poem A Birthday by Christina Rossetti: "My heart is like a singing bird / Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
/ My heart is like an apple-tree
/ Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;
/ My heart is like a rainbow shell / That paddles in a halcyon sea; /
My heart is gladder than all these
/ Because my love is come to me.
/ Raise me a dais of silk and down;
/ Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
/ Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
/ And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
/ Work it in gold and silver grapes, / In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys; /
Because the birthday of my life / Is come, my love is come to me." This pretty postcard is perfect for the 21st-century lover of 19th-century art and poetry, on any occasion.

I got these to go with the matching invitations and used them as RSVP postcards. Everyone loves them! The feedback was they are the neatest design the invitees have seen! Just a word of caution these default to matte so if you are wanting gloss you have to change it manually. Thanks Cathy for providing the best product for our occasion! I am super impressed! .
