The Long Engagement Postcard

This postcards depicts The Long Engagement by Arthur Hughes. In an overgrown forest setting, a clergy man meets his lover. As a poorly paid cleric, he is perhaps too poor to marry or become engaged, as the young woman's hand displays no engagement ring. The length of their courtship is indicated by the ivy having grown over her name, Amy, which was cut long ago into the tree. Their hands are lovingly clasped together and a faithful dog stands at their feet staring up at them.[shortcode] [short-description]
