From the Publisher:
A potpourri of art, history, and sentiment, this loving remembrance will delight the hearts of nostalgia buffs and romantics every day of the year.
Drawn mostly from the author's own fine collection, the valentines create small vignettes of days past - the simple sentiments and handmade cards of colonial times...the frothy lace and layers created by Ester Lowland, the Mother of the American valentine...the pathos and sometimes humor of the Civil War and World War eras...the heavily embellished confections of the Victorians...elaborate fold-out imports from Germany.
111 pages of full color pictures of antique and vintage valentine postcards
