Distant or Near, Old Friends are Dear
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming Edwardian-era greetings card that beautifully captures the essence of enduring friendship. The image, circa 1905, features a cozy scene of a man and a woman seated by a fireside in their home. The warmth of the fireplace radiates throughout the room, creating a sense of comfort and familiarity. In the background, a clock ticks away the hours, reminding us of the passage of time. Through the window, we catch a glimpse of the night sky, with stars twinkling in the distance. Outside, various modes of transportation from the era dominate the landscape - a train, a ship, and an aeroplane. These symbols of travel and progress serve as reminders of the vast distances that may separate friends, yet the depth of their connection remains unchanged. A cat curled up on the hearth adds to the domestic scene, while a pillar box and a lighthouse complete the picture, emphasizing the idea of communication and connection, no matter the distance. The man and woman, deep in conversation, smile at each other, their faces illuminated by the fire's glow. The caption, "Distant or Near, Old Friends are Dear," encapsulates the sentiment of this heartwarming image, reminding us that the bonds of friendship can withstand the test of time and distance. This beautiful card is a testament to the power of friendship and the comforting feeling of being with old friends, whether near or far.
