EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases a unique and intriguing Valentine's Day card from the year 1909, titled "Teddy's Valentine." The image features a bust portrait of an elegant and radiant African woman, proudly labeled as "Miss Africa," adorned with a beautiful headdress and adornments. The background is filled with lush greenery, adding to the serene and romantic atmosphere. The heart-shaped border of the card is adorned with two playful putti, or mischievous cupids, adding a whimsical touch to the design. The putti hold a bow and arrow, symbolizing the traditional Cupid's arrow, and a heart, representing love and affection. The text at the bottom of the card reads, "Will You Be My Valentine?" in elegant script, adding a personal touch and inviting the recipient to share a special moment with the sender. This charming and culturally diverse illustration is reminiscent of the early 20th century's fascination with exoticism and the romanticization of far-off lands and peoples. It is a testament to the enduring power of love and the universal language it speaks, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. The illustration is a cartoon, featuring a soft, hand-drawn style, and is believed to have been published in a magazine, showcasing the popularity and widespread appeal of this design during the early 1900s.
