Valentine cards with a golfing theme, 1911
Valentine cards with a golfing theme, 1911. Both cards were made in Germany and printed in Saxony, but the left card was for the US market, the right card for the British market. This is evidenced by the more intimate nature of the card on the left, which was considered inappropriate at the time in the UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two Valentine cards with a golfing theme, dating back to 1911. Crafted in Germany and printed in Saxony, these cards were specifically designed for the US and British markets. A fascinating contrast emerges between the two cards: while both feature elements of love and golf, the card on the left was intended for American audiences, while the one on the right catered to British sensibilities. The divergence becomes apparent through examining their content closely. The left card exudes a more intimate nature, featuring a couple locked in a loving embrace—a gesture that was considered inappropriate at that time within British society. This subtle difference reflects how cultural norms varied across countries during this period. Beyond their cultural significance, these Valentine cards beautifully capture early 20th-century aesthetics. Vibrant colors bring life to each element depicted— from hearts and kisses to golf equipment like clubs and bags. The image portrays an American woman kissing her male partner passionately against a backdrop of rolling green hills—a symbol of romance intertwined with sport. Preserved by Sarah Fabian Baddiel (not affiliated with any company), this historical photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when expressions of affection were influenced by societal expectations specific to different regions around the world. It serves as a reminder of how customs evolve over time and vary across nations, even within seemingly universal celebrations such as Valentine's Day.
