This charming Victorian hand-coloured engraved and embossed Valentine card captures the whimsical spirit of the era. The card features a man dressed as a soldier, complete with rifle, in an amusing pose that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The intricate details of the embossing and colouring add depth and texture to this delightful piece. The humorous verse accompanying the image adds another layer of amusement, showcasing the wit and playfulness characteristic of Victorian valentines. This comic valentine serves as a reminder that even during more serious times, laughter can still be found. Dating back to around 1860, this colour lithograph exemplifies the artistic craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century. It is now part of a private collection but has been preserved for all to enjoy thanks to eDavid Pearson's photograph. Whether given as a token of affection or simply displayed as an example of historical artistry, this Victorian valentine offers both visual delight and poetic charm. Its engraved rhyme and verse make it an ideal greetings card for those seeking something unique and funny. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time while reminding us that humor transcends generations.
