EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures a moment of anticipation and excitement on Saint Valentine's Day in 1886. Two young girls are depicted eagerly waiting for the postman to deliver their Valentines. One of the girls holds out her pinafore, ready to receive her share of love letters and cards.
In a time before instant messaging and social media, receiving mail was a special occasion that brought joy and connection. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when handwritten notes were treasured tokens of affection.
The historical significance of this scene is palpable, reminding us of the importance of communication in human relationships throughout history. The act of sending and receiving Valentines has long been a tradition associated with expressing love and friendship.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when waiting for the post was an exciting event filled with hope and anticipation. The innocence and sweetness captured in this image serve as a reminder of the enduring power of simple gestures to convey love and appreciation.
