EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming black and white lithograph titled "Valentine: To see her on his knees, decorating the little legs of the couch with frills as if it were a child" we are transported to a bygone era filled with whimsy and playfulness. The image captures a delightful scene in which Valentine, presumably a visitor, is seen kneeling on the floor of a cozy sitting room. With great care and attention to detail, he adorns the dainty legs of the couch with delicate frills. The artist Hugh Thomson masterfully portrays this comedic moment, infusing it with an air of innocence and joy. The costumes worn by Valentine and his companion add to the overall sense of merriment, suggesting that they might be engaged in some sort of playful game or theatrical performance. This print is reminiscent of scenes from J. M. Barrie's famous play "Quality Street" published around 1930. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when imagination reigned supreme and even mundane tasks like decorating furniture could become sources of amusement. With its intricate engraving technique, this lithograph invites us to appreciate not only its subject matter but also the skillful craftsmanship behind its creation. As we gaze upon this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but smile at Valentine's endearing gesture towards an object typically overlooked - transforming it into something magical through sheer creativity.
