In the 16th century, Saint Valentine, along with his companions Saint Stephen and Saint Maximilie, became synonymous with love and affection. Their legacy lives on through various forms of art, such as engravings and chromolithos. One captivating engraving titled "St Valentines Morn, a Shrewd Guess" transports us to a time when love was celebrated in mysterious ways. Another enchanting chromolitho showcases a French Valentine's Day card adorned with vibrant colors that evoke feelings of joy and romance. But let's not forget the whimsical side of St. Valentine's Day. A playful gorilla-themed card reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously while expressing our affections. Meanwhile, Cupid takes center stage in another charming chromolitho as he holds a letter filled with heartfelt sentiments. Floral greetings cards also make an appearance in this collection of artistic expressions dedicated to St. Valentine's Day. The delicate beauty captured in these chromolithos serves as a reminder that nature itself is an embodiment of love. Moving forward into the 20th century, we encounter "The Lovers, " a color lithograph that encapsulates the timeless essence of passion between two souls intertwined by destiny. However, even St. Valentine himself made mistakes from time to time. An amusing engraving humorously depicts one such mishap where a missive ended up in the wrong hands instead of its intended recipient. Finally, Cupid returns once more in yet another delightful chromolitho valentine card – because what would this celebration be without his mischievous arrows? From traditional engravings to modern-day prints bursting with color and creativity, these artworks pay homage to St. Valentine's enduring influence on matters of the heart. Whether it be through classic symbols or unexpected surprises like gorillas or mistaken deliveries – each piece captures the spirit of love that defines this special day for lovers around the world.
