EDITORS COMMENTS
Valentine's Day, mid 19th century: A Glimpse into Romantic Traditions. In this enchanting print by J Brain, we are transported back to a typical Victorian Valentine's Day celebration. Behind an intricately patterned curtain, a young man is captivated by the contents of a love letter he holds in his hands. His sisters stand beside him, their laughter echoing through the room as they playfully point at their brother's romantic endeavor. This charming scene captures the essence of romance during the 19th century – a time when handwritten letters were cherished tokens of affection and courtship rituals held great significance. The engraving beautifully depicts the interior decoration of that era with its attention to detail and elegant design. The artist John William Wright skillfully portrays not only the emotions shared between siblings but also reveals societal norms surrounding love and relationships during this period. The image evokes nostalgia for a time when expressions of love were more traditional yet filled with genuine sentiment. As we gaze upon this print from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded of how Valentine's Day has evolved over time while still retaining its core values – celebrating love and connection among family members and loved ones.
