Dear to Memory (Valentine), 1850/59
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately designed valentine card created by American artist C Lang during the 19th century. This exquisite piece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the rich heritage of Victorian-era greeting cards. The card is a collage of collaged elements on cut and embossed ivory wove paper. The cream color of the paper provides a subtle yet elegant backdrop for the intricate decorative elements. The card's close-up view reveals a figure, possibly Cupid, holding a heart-shaped quiver and a bow, surrounded by a cascade of greenery and flowers. The green color adds a touch of romance and freshness to the design. The card's intricacy and intricately embossed details are a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to the art of creating beautiful and meaningful valentines. The card's shape is rectangular, with rounded edges, adding to its charming and vintage appeal. The use of purples and reds in the design further enhances the romantic concept of the card, making it a perfect expression of love and affection for St. Valentine's Day. The card's location in the Art Institute of Chicago allows it to be appreciated not only as a historical artifact but also as a work of art in its own right. This beautiful and unique valentine card from the 19th century is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of love and romance, making it a cherished piece of American heritage.
