EDITORS COMMENTS
Untitled Valentine (Cupid and Butterflies)," created by the American artistic duo Berlin & Jones in the late 19th century, is a captivating work of art that embodies the essence of romance and intricacy. This exquisite piece, dating back to 1860 or 1869, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the time. The collaged elements on the cut and embossed ivory wove paper showcase a harmonious blend of blue and gold hues, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer in. The gilded and gilt details add an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a fitting piece for Saint Valentine's Day. The central image of Cupid, the Roman god of love, is depicted with his characteristic bow and arrow, surrounded by a flutter of golden butterflies. The intricate details of the drawing, from the delicate wings of the butterflies to the folds of Cupid's robe, demonstrate the artists' exceptional skill and dedication to their craft. This untitled valentine card is a rare example of the decorative arts that emerged during the Victorian era in the United States. It is a reminder of a time when greeting cards were handcrafted works of art, meant to be treasured and passed down through generations. The close-up view of the card reveals the intricacy and intricately embossed design, inviting the viewer to appreciate the heritage art and the concept behind it. The Untitled Valentine (Cupid and Butterflies) by Berlin & Jones is a must-see piece at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and showcased for all to admire. It is a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and captivate, reminding us of the enduring power of love and the beauty of the arts.
