Product Description

When Saint Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome, Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage. Despite the emperor's decree, Saint Valentine continued to perform marriages until Claudius finally put him to death. Today, Valentine's Day celebrates Saint Valentine's sacrifice and love's triumph with delicate valentines, bright flowers, and tasty candies. In this exhaustive exploration of Valentine's Day, collector and author Michele Karl showcases over 200 vintage valentines, complete with detailed descriptions, historical anecdotes, and innovative recipes. Also included are fun facts, folklore, poems, crafts, and other expressions of love. Lovers of all ages will delight in this book's wealth of information and history behind our most romantic holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Over 20 vintage valentines, May 15, 2003
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
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.

This beautiful book inspired me to gather and organize decades of greeting cards at various locations in my
house, perhaps for a collectible scrapbooking project or for art ideas.
