These lovely calling cards with bible verses were popular during the Victorian era up through the Edwardian. This one probably dates from the turn of the last century, 1900 or so. It pictures a little girl dressed in pink among pink roses. Roses meant "Beauty" in the language of flowers, and they still do today, don't you think?The verse on the card is the words of our Lord from John 15: 14 (King James Version)
"12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
" 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
" 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. "
What a beautiful day this Sunday is.
