EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming late Victorian-era photograph, a boy and girl sit side by side on a cozy bench, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The girl playfully holds an envelope in her hand, while the boy reaches out to give her a bouquet of mauve and purple flowers. The envelope, adorned with a red seal, symbolizes the anticipation and excitement of receiving a Valentine's Day card in the mail. The comic design of the postcard adds a touch of humor and lightheartedness to the romantic scene. The boy wears a jaunty hat, while the girl dons a dainty hat with a ribbon, both adding to the whimsical atmosphere. The use of color, with its rich reds and deep purples, enhances the romantic and playful tone of the image. This photograph captures the essence of the late 1800s, a time when Valentine's Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm and affection. The exchange of handmade cards and small gifts was a cherished tradition, and the act of sending a Valentine's Day card was a way to express love and admiration from a distance. The image of the boy and girl with the envelope and flowers on the comic Valentine postcard is a timeless reminder of the enduring power of love and the joy of receiving a heartfelt message.
