EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage cartoon print from 1906, titled "Shy. St. Valentine - Don't be afraid to take 'em, boys. They're valentines" we see a humorous depiction of the famous holiday figure delivering mail to a group of influential American businessmen. Created by J. S. Pughe, this caricature captures the essence of early 20th-century capitalism and its relationship with Saint Valentine's Day. The scene shows St. Valentine timidly knocking on the door as he delivers mail to prominent figures such as William D. Mann, John A. McCall, Henry Huttleston Rogers, John D. Rockefeller Sr. , John D. Rockefeller Jr. , Robert McCurdy, Edward L. Hamilton, and Richard A. McCurdy – all well-known financiers at that time. Pughe's clever illustration playfully suggests that these powerful men should not fear receiving valentines but rather embrace them for what they are – tokens of affection rather than legal subpoenas or business-related documents. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into turn-of-the-century America and offers a satirical commentary on the intersection between love and business during that era. Granger Art on Demand presents this fascinating piece from their collection without any commercial use in mind; instead, it allows us to appreciate the artistic representation of historical events through cartoons like this one.
