EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century British Valentine card captures a whimsical and slightly scandalous scene. In the litho print, we see a man being bathed in a bathtub by three women, all fully clothed. The image is accompanied by lines of verse above and below, adding an element of poetry to this cheeky Valentine's Day greeting. The card provides us with a fascinating glimpse into the romantic customs and fashions of the time. It reflects the playful nature of Victorian-era valentines, which often featured humorous or flirtatious imagery. The man being bathed appears somewhat surprised but also delighted by the attention he is receiving from these bathing beauties. Their clothing suggests that they may be partaking in a fashionable spa experience rather than engaging in traditional bathing practices. This print not only showcases artistic skill but also offers insight into social norms and attitudes towards romance during this period. It reminds us that love has always been celebrated in various ways throughout history. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, let it serve as a reminder that expressions of affection can take many forms – even if it involves unexpected encounters in bathtubs!
