Victorian St. Patrick's Day Greeting Card - Girl in Green
Text on Card
The Wearing of the Green Oh the Shamrock, the green, immortal Shamrock! Chosen leaf of Bard and Chief, Old Erin's native Shamrock.
Description
A Victorian-era setting provides the backdrop for this charming St. Patrick's Day greeting card, featuring a cherubic young girl dressed in a green pinafore over a white dress printed with shamrocks, carrying a woven basket overflowing with shamrock sprigs on her back. The child's delicate features and curled auburn/brown hair embody the sentimental aesthetic of late 19th-century greeting card design. The title "The Wearing of the Green" appears in elegant lettering at the top, while a verse honoring the shamrock adorns the lower portion of the card, capturing the festive spirit and Irish heritage themes popular during this period.
