EDITORS COMMENTS
This British Valentine card from the 19th century transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the romantic customs of yesteryears. The colour litho print showcases an exquisite image of a woman engrossed in her own reflection as she gazes into a mirror. What makes this artwork intriguing is that the mirror reflects not only her own visage but also that of a man accompanied by a cherub. Published by A Park and printed on Leonard Street in London, this Valentine card captures the essence of love and desire through its lines of verse delicately placed above and below the central image. The intricate details within this piece reveal fashions and interiors characteristic of the era. As we delve deeper into this enchanting scene, we are reminded of the timeless tradition associated with Valentine's Day - expressing affection through heartfelt poems and exchanging tokens of love. The presence of arrows symbolizes both Cupid's influence on matters of romance as well as potential weapons to win over someone's heart. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Valerie Jackson Harris, this British Valentine card serves as an artistic testament to enduring sentiments that transcend time itself. Its beauty lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to transport us back to an era where declarations of love were conveyed through handwritten verses and cherished keepsakes like these valentine cards.
