EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century Gorilla Valentine's Day card captures the essence of Victorian romance with a touch of humor. The chromolitho print showcases an adorable gorilla holding a lace paper valentine, pen in hand, ready to express his love. The caption reads, "Believe me to remain yours ever truly, Mr Gorilla" adding a delightful twist to this unique piece of ephemera. The illustration beautifully combines elements of nature and human sentimentality. A branch serves as the backdrop for the lovestruck gorilla, symbolizing both his wild origins and his desire for companionship. With intricate details and delicate colors, it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when handwritten letters were cherished expressions of affection. This Gorilla Valentine's Day card not only reflects the creative imagination of its English School artist but also provides insight into Victorian culture and their fascination with animals. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries or species – even gorillas can experience romantic feelings! As we admire this historical gem from Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, let us appreciate the artistry behind it while pondering how such whimsical gestures have evolved over time. This print is not just an amusing curiosity; it represents our enduring need to connect emotionally and find joy in unexpected places – even through the eyes of a lovestruck gorilla.
