So here we have the morning, which will actually be brighter earlier, because the hour has moved to light`s advantage.
This card is an especially good illustration of that, for the dark above the curtain is giving way to a hazy blue.
This set is a very popular one, and beautifully drawn. The cards of the dawn. the morning and the night have a curtain, like our card, whereas noon and afternoon are given branches and leaves, and the evening has conifers and a sunset. Each has a lady and a cherub, but not the same lady and not the same style of costume.
The cards in the French version are :
- L`Aurore [dawn]
- Le Matin [morning]
- Midi [noon]
- Apres-Midi [afternoon]
- Le Soir [evening]
- La Nuit [night]
It is also available in Italian, as "Il Corso del Giorno", and in German. as "Des Tages Lauf".
