Mid 19th - 2 Large Vintage Chromolithograph Illustrated Cards - Weather Themed Victorian Artwork - Man Wiping Brow - Woman With Umbrella

This delightful pair of Mid 19th-century chromolithograph cards captures humorous scenes related to challenging weather conditions. One card features a distinguished gentleman dressed in a striking blue tailcoat, red breeches, and yellow stockings. He is depicted holding a black top hat, having seemingly removed it to wipe his brow with a white cloth, suggesting a hot or strenuous day.

The second card portrays a charming young woman in a traditional style dress, complete with a green bodice, white blouse, and a vibrant red skirt. She struggles against a strong wind, which has turned her umbrella inside out, leaving it tattered and broken. Her attire and the dynamic pose vividly convey the blustery conditions.

These charming illustrations exemplify the detailed artistry popular in the era, likely serving as decorative trade cards or inserts for personal albums.
