EDITORS COMMENTS
To My Valentine, American Valentine card, 1907. This charming vintage print captures the essence of love and romance in early 20th century America. Cupid, the mischievous cherub of Roman mythology, takes center stage as he holds a heart pierced by his trusty arrow. The delicate forget-me-not flowers surrounding him symbolize everlasting affection. In this allegorical figure, we witness the fusion of ancient mythological beliefs with American sentimentality. Cupid's smiling face reflects the joy and excitement associated with St. Valentine's Day - a celebration that possibly replaced the pagan festival of Lupercalia in Roman times. The origins of St. Valentine remain shrouded in mystery; however, this beautiful artwork pays homage to his legacy while embracing popular symbols such as hearts and arrows that have become synonymous with love. This chromolithograph print showcases vibrant colors and intricate details, transporting us back to a time when handwritten valentine cards were cherished tokens exchanged between loved ones. As we admire this piece from Ann Ronan Pictures' collection, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as its timeless portrayal of love's enduring power.
