Over 20 vintage valentines,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greetings With Love: The Book of Valentines (Architecture) (Hardcover)
Greetings With Love: The Book Of Valentines will hold year-round attraction for any interested in greeting card art, collectability, or history. The focus here is on antique valentines, with chapters surveying the earliest valentine in history to modern times. Over 20 vintage valentines from mechanical cupids to lace productions are detailed in a history which traces the changing trends of the day. Beautiful color photos of antique productions make for a bright, highly recommended coverage.
