EDITORS COMMENTS
My Valentine: A Timeless Expression of Love and Longing from the 1890s This image captures the essence of love and romance during the late Victorian era, as depicted in a beautifully preserved Valentine postcard from the 1890s. The woman in the photograph, adorned in a narrow-waisted, pink bodice dress with a full skirt and a delicate bonnet adorned with yellow flowers, gazes directly at the viewer with a tender and hopeful expression. Her heartfelt message is conveyed through the red hearts that surround her, symbolizing the depth of her emotions and her longing for her Valentine. The intricate detailing of her costume, with its elegant lace and fine stitching, speaks to the care and craftsmanship that went into creating this romantic keepsake. The arrow and rose motif at the bottom of the postcard adds an additional layer of meaning, suggesting the idea of being struck by Cupid's arrow and the enduring power of love. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the universal language of love and the enduring appeal of Valentine's Day, a tradition that has captured the hearts of people for generations. The red hearts and yellow flowers, timeless symbols of love and affection, continue to be a cherished expression of romantic sentiments, making this a truly special and evocative piece of history.
