Long May Peace Attend Thee!

Long May Peace Attend Thee!
"Long may peace attend thee!"

A Victorian-era hidden-name calling card with shaking hands, a sailing ship, and the Statue of Liberty, all surrounded by a border of roses and forget-me-nots. The colorful illustration consists of a separate die-cut that lifts up on the right-hand side to reveal the name of "Edward M. Mercer" printed underneath.

Yes, I agree! I don't fully understand all the Victorian conventions in artwork like this.
