EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the ornate lace and pink hues of this Victorian Valentine card from the 1890s, a soldier in full uniform stands proudly, his sword at his side and hat in hand. The joy and relief etched on his face speak volumes as he returns home from the war. The flamboyant costume, complete with a jacket adorned with gold buttons, is a testament to the grandeur of the era. The white border, adorned with intricate floral designs, adds to the romantic and nostalgic atmosphere of the card. This Valentine's Day, as we celebrate love and romance, let us not forget the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers throughout history. This heartwarming image serves as a reminder of the hope and happiness that awaits them upon their return home.
