Vintage Edwardian Romantic Kiss Greeting Card, 1900s

That decorative pillow on the bench is doing more to support her than he is — because behold the Edwardian era's idea of 'romantic': a man in a grey suit and bow tie has fully climbed into a woman's lap on a white bench, leaning in for a kiss while she reclines back at a 45-degree angle that screams either 'swooning passion' or 'structural spine damage.' She's dressed impeccably — dark stockings, heeled shoes still firmly ON her feet, thank you very much — yet somehow ends up as the load-bearing furniture in this arrangement. The artist, whose signature is helpfully visible in the bottom right corner, apparently looked at this acrobatic power imbalance and thought, 'yes, this is a card someone will want to mail to their beloved.'
