EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming 1893 photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library, titled "Buying Valentine Cards." This historical image captures the essence of a bygone era, as a young woman carefully selects Valentine cards for her loved ones at a quaint shop. Valentine's Day, a day dedicated to expressing love and affection, has a rich and intriguing history that dates back to ancient Rome. The tradition of exchanging cards, however, did not become popular until the 15th century in Europe. By the 18th century, handmade paper Valentines adorned with lace, ribbons, and flowers began to replace simple written messages. This photograph offers a glimpse into the Valentine card shopping scene of the late 19th century. The shop, filled with an array of colorful cards, is a testament to the growing popularity of this custom. The young woman, with a thoughtful expression on her face, carefully examines each card before making her selection. Her elegant attire and the shopkeeper's neatly-arranged display of cards suggest that this was an important and cherished tradition. The scene is further enhanced by the historical context of the photograph. The year 1893 was a time of great change and progress. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and new technologies were transforming the way people lived and worked. Yet, amidst all the advancements, traditions like exchanging Valentine cards continued to thrive, providing a sense of continuity and connection to the past. This photograph is not only a beautiful representation of the Valentine card shopping experience during the late 19th century but also a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of traditions in our lives.
