EDITORS COMMENTS
This early 20th century Valentine card, featuring a lock and key design with the caption "There's a lock upon my heart, and you have the key!", offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Valentine's Day customs. The tradition of exchanging romantic messages and tokens of affection on this day can be traced back to ancient Rome, where February 14 was dedicated to the god of fertility, Lupercus. Over the centuries, the celebration evolved into a day of love and romance, with the exchange of handmade paper cards becoming a popular custom in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. This charming Valentine card, with its intricate lock and key design, speaks to the enduring theme of love as a mystery to be unlocked, a treasure to be sought after. The lock and key motif has long been a symbol of the commitment and trust required in a romantic relationship, as well as the idea of the heart as a fortress that can only be opened by true love. The use of printed cards, rather than handwritten messages, became popular in the 19th century, with the invention of the steam-powered printing press making it possible to mass-produce intricately designed cards. This card, with its elegant typography and delicate illustrations, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these romantic keepsakes. Today, the tradition of exchanging Valentine's Day cards continues to be a cherished custom, with millions of cards being sent around the world each year. This early 20th century lock and key design serves as a reminder of the enduring power of love to inspire poetry, art, and the desire to connect with one another.
