EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Valentines Day, 1870" takes us back to a bygone era of love and anticipation. The scene is set in a grand English household, where the excitement of Valentine's Day fills the air. In this bustling hallway, we witness a charming moment unfolding before our eyes. A young mailman stands at the door, clutching his bag filled with letters and valentines. His presence evokes curiosity and joy among the family members eagerly awaiting their special deliveries. As we explore further into the image, we notice children peering down from the staircase above, their faces beaming with anticipation. A maid hurries past them on her way to assist in distributing these heartfelt messages of affection. The Victorian setting adds an air of elegance and tradition to this enchanting snapshot in time. It reminds us of simpler times when handwritten letters held great significance and were cherished expressions of love. Through Mary Ellen Edwards' skillful engraving technique, she captures not only a visual representation but also an emotional connection between sender and recipient during this romantic holiday. "St Valentines Day, 1870" transports us back to an era where love was celebrated through thoughtful gestures conveyed by postmen like this one – messengers who carried emotions within envelopes across England's vast postal network.
