EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Andrew Jenkins Collection captures a unique and intriguing moment in time. Dating back to circa 1910, this image features a couple seemingly oblivious of each other and the love thermometer above their heads. Picture postcards like these were used as early expressions of the Surrealist movement, adding an element of mystery and whimsy to everyday scenes.
The Love Thermometer is part of a set reflecting the progress of courtship, showcasing different stages of romantic relationships through clever visual metaphors. In this particular snapshot, the couple appears lost in their own thoughts or perhaps caught up in the excitement of new love.
As they stand side by side, with the thermometer hovering above them like a silent observer, one can't help but wonder about the dynamics at play between these two individuals. Are they on the same page emotionally? Or are there hidden depths beneath their outward appearances?
With its vintage charm and subtle symbolism, this print invites viewers to ponder the complexities of human connection and communication. It serves as a reminder that love is not always straightforward or easily quantifiable – sometimes it takes a closer look to truly understand its nuances.
