EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Valentine, ca. 1875" by Catherine Greenaway takes us back to the enchanting world of rural life in 19th century Britain. The image showcases a beautifully decorated white card with a cameo embossed scalloped border, adorned with intricate chromolithography and gold lithography. It is evident that this piece was crafted with great care and attention to detail. The scene depicted on the card transports us to a countryside setting during harvest time, where pheasants roam freely amidst sheaves of wheat. This romantic composition captures the essence of courtship and love, as two birds engage in a delicate dance of affectionate gestures. Catherine Greenaway's work seamlessly blends artistry and literature, as her valentine card features an accompanying poem that further enhances its charm. With regionalism at its core, this piece celebrates British heritage while evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. Preserved by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this Victorian treasure from Marcus Ward & Co serves as a testament to the enduring beauty found within handmade creations. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, reminding us of the power that art holds in capturing moments of romance and rustic allure.
