EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century Friendship Offering (valentine) is a captivating example of allegorical art from the romantic era in America and England. The collaged elements on cut and embossed ivory wove paper lace depict a scene of cherubs and putti, or amorini, engaged in a playful dance of love and friendship. The allegorical figures of Cupid and his companions represent the concepts of love and affection, while the floral design adds to the overall romantic and artistic school of the time. The white color and intricate detailing of the collage create a sense of purity and elegance, making this a cherished artifact from the nineteenth century. The use of putti and cherubs is a common motif in Victorian-era Valentines, reflecting the cultural values of the time that placed a high importance on the ideals of love and friendship. This print, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America and Europe during this period. The collaged elements on the ivory wove paper lace add a unique texture and depth to the image, making it a standout piece in any art gallery or exhibition. The historical significance and artistic merit of this Friendship Offering (valentine) make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and culture in the United States and beyond.
