Postcard sent by Laura (the UK) and arrived yesterday. Just in time for this week's theme in Postcards for the Weekend, i. e., Love.
This is a scene of Pride and Prejudice (1813), by the favourite author Jane Austen (My album here). A rather old-fashioned conception of love, for our contemporary standards...
What a great card.
ReplyDeleteYEs,it is!
DeleteI rather like the old-fashioned concepts! :-) Perfect for this week's theme!
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! "Old-fashioned" doesn't mean uninteresting, of course :D
DeleteSuch a coincidence that you received this card just in time!
ReplyDeleteI wonder which card you would have chosen if Laura hadn't sent this one - but for that we will wait for next year's theme :-)
I don't know either!
DeleteHow lovely! I wish these gestures of romance of love can remain in fashion and won't completely be overcome by contemporary standards. Thanks for sharing Eva!
ReplyDeleteI think love is and will be always in fashion.
DeleteThat is a fabulous card! I love it. Jane Austen is my favourite author so I am extremely jealous of your card....but it is perfect for the theme this week!
ReplyDeleteSo very glad that you posted it!
I thought you would like it :)
DeleteThe perfect romantic book.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to think "romantic book"and no to think of Jane Austen, isn't it?
DeleteFor a contemporary rendering of Pride and Prejudice, I can recommend Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. Very tongue-in-cheek! Mr Darcy there is a prestigious surgeon and Liz Bennett works in journalism...
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
