EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming late 19th century photograph captures the innocence and delight of childhood during the Valentine's Day season. A young girl, dressed in a pretty pink dress adorned with ribbons, sits at a table holding a Valentine card in her gloved hands. Her expression is one of excitement and anticipation, as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her special Valentine. In the background, another girl, perhaps her sister or friend, playfully peeks in with a blue mop or mob cap on her head, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The girl with the fan, with a delicate white fan in hand, appears poised and refined, embodying the grace and elegance often associated with the holiday. Valentine's Day cards were a popular tradition during the late 1800s, and children would often exchange handmade cards with their classmates and friends. The exchange of cards and small gifts was a way to express affection and friendship, and the holiday held a special significance for children, who looked forward to the joy and excitement it brought. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures and innocent joys of childhood, and the enduring tradition of exchanging Valentine's Day cards. The girls' charming outfits, playful expressions, and the delicate details of the props add to the overall charm and appeal of the image. A true treasure for anyone with a love for history, photography, or the nostalgia of Valentine's Day.
