EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print titled "Valentine, 1875-1880" captures the essence of romance and courtship in 19th century Britain. Created by Catherine Greenaway, a renowned British artist of that era, this piece showcases her exceptional talent for chromolithography and decorative design. The image features two children, beautifully dressed in Victorian attire, engaging in a delightful courting scene amidst a backdrop of vibrant daffodils. The color palette chosen by Greenaway adds to the overall charm and whimsy of the artwork. Printed on white card stock with gilt and scalloped borders, this Valentine's Day card exudes elegance and sentimentality. It is evident that Marcus Ward & Co. , a prominent publisher during that time period, played an instrumental role in producing this exquisite piece. As we delve into the intricate details of this print, it becomes clear why it has become such an iconic representation of love during the spring season. The delicate nature surrounding these young lovers evokes feelings of innocence and tenderness. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection, this work by Catherine Greenaway continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder not only of the enduring power of love but also pays homage to the artistic achievements from one remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on British art history.
