EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Gift of Friendship (valentine)", we are transported back to the 19th century, where British artist George Kershaw beautifully captures the essence of devotion and friendship. The artwork, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a close-up view of a collaged valentine card made with cut and embossed ivory laid paper lace. The delicate floral elements in vibrant pink hues adorn the card, symbolizing love and affection. Kershaw's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his use of lithography and lithotint techniques that bring out the intricate textures on the embossed surface. English text handwritten on the card adds a personal touch, emphasizing its significance as a heartfelt gift exchanged between friends. The Western script lettering further enhances its old-fashioned charm. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece, it reminds us of simpler times when handwritten sentiments held great value. The Gift of Friendship serves as a timeless reminder that true friendships transcend time and place. Kershaw's creation invites us to appreciate nature's beauty through his depiction of roses - symbols of love and friendship throughout history. This artwork not only celebrates human connections but also pays homage to traditional printing methods that were prevalent during Kershaw's era. With each glance at this remarkable print by George Kershaw, we are reminded of how precious our relationships are and how gestures like these cards can convey deep emotions even centuries later.
