Centennial London Illustrated News Replica Postcards

Product Name: Centennial London Illustrated News Replica Postcards "The Illustrated London News" was a popular weekly publication among British aristocracy a century ago. Published weekly, it covered current events, news, folk culture, trends, arts and culture, ecology, and technological inventions, making it a reading material exclusively for the upper class, aristocracy, gentlemen, and the highly educated. The illustrations in the magazine were produced using woodblock printing, meticulously hand-carved and then hand-printed, a process that was quite time-consuming. Our shop and designers have carefully selected images from rare, out-of-print editions of "The Illustrated London News" and printed them onto postcards, bringing these intricate and beautiful scenes back to life for everyone. There are 16 designs available for collection. You can also handwrite messages of blessing or longing and send them to your friends and family. Product Description: "Silverware Sculptures" August 9, 1856 On the left is a statue symbolizing peace, Princess Helena, depicted with solemnity. On the right is a statue symbolizing abundance, Princess Louise, depicted with dignity. The silverware of that era was made of pure silver, expensive items owned only by the upper class and aristocracy. The silver sculpture commemorative cups produced by this company feature floral and leaf designs symbolizing peace, freedom, and bountiful harvests, with the year also inscribed to mark the occasion. Brief Introduction: Princess Louise of Abundance holds a cornucopia filled with ripe fruits. Her braided hair and exposed arms and toes suggest she is engaged in work, with her robes loosely draped, as if signifying the fruits of diligent labor. Thus, she symbolizes bountiful results. Princess Helena of Peace rests her left hand, a symbol of victory, while her right hand holds an olive branch, a symbol of peace, offered in an open palm as if inviting someone to take it. Her face is serene and calm, with thick, wavy hair flowing down her back. The lines of the drapery and the pose of her limbs indicate repose. Thus, she symbolizes peace and freedom. *This design shop primarily features vintage and antique collectibles.
