EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting Valentines greetings card from the late 19th century transports us to a whimsical world where Ariel, the mischievous sprite from Shakespeare's "The Tempest" takes flight on the back of a delicate dragonfly. The chromolitho print captures every intricate detail of this ethereal scene, showcasing the vibrant colors and exquisite craftsmanship that were characteristic of Victorian-era ephemera. As Ariel soars through the air with grace and ease, we are reminded of the power of love to make even the most impossible dreams come true. The fluttering wings of butterflies and other insects add an element of magical realism to this romantic tableau. Accompanying this delightful image is a verse or poem, serving as both decoration and message delivery system. It speaks to the timeless tradition of expressing affection through written words, while cherubs playfully observe from above. This Valentines card not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us how expressions of love have evolved over time. As we admire this charming print, let it inspire us to embrace our own creativity in celebrating those dear to our hearts on Valentine's Day and beyond.
