EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of Victorian Valentines Day cards. Dated 1847, it showcases a Promissory note from the Bank of True Love, an exquisite creation by an anonymous English School artist. The delicate lithograph captures the essence of love and romance that prevailed during this time. The card itself is a work of art, with intricate details and vibrant colors that draw you in. It features a comical twist on traditional banknotes, as Cupid's face replaces that of any prominent figure usually found on such currency. This whimsical touch adds humor and charm to the piece. As we delve into its symbolism, we find more than just a humorous spoof. The promissory note represents not only financial commitment but also emotional promises made between lovers during Valentine's Day celebrations. It serves as a reminder that true love transcends material wealth and can be expressed through heartfelt gestures. With its unique blend of finance and romance, this Victorian Valentines Day card stands out among ephemera from the period. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today, evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when handwritten notes held great significance. This extraordinary image is part of the Valerie Jackson Harris Collection housed in a private collection—an invaluable glimpse into history preserved for generations to come.
