EDITORS COMMENTS
Untitled Valentine (Large Purple and Yellow Flowers), 1815/30, inscribed 1865, is a stunning and intricately designed Valentine's Day card from the 19th century. Created by Dobbs, Kidd & Co, this masterpiece showcases the beauty of nature with its vibrant watercolor and collaged elements on cut and embossed ivory wove paper. The card features a lush arrangement of pansies, a popular symbol of love and remembrance during the Victorian era. The flowers are depicted in rich shades of purple and yellow, with their delicate petals and intricate veining rendered in exquisite detail. The watercolor technique adds depth and texture to the image, while the collaged elements add an extra layer of visual interest. The card's border is adorned with intricate lace patterns, adding to its romantic and whimsical charm.
