EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing antique print showcases a whimsical take on financial transactions during the mid-1800s - a St. Valentine's Day bank note from the fictional "Bank of Love." The note, dated back to the 1860s, is issued from the "Temple of Hymen," promising to pay the "entire love of the suppliant." The note is signed by the Governor of the bank, none other than the mischievous Cupid himself. With a quill pen in hand and an amused smirk on his face, Cupid adds his signature to the bottom of the note, further authenticating this romantic promise. The design of the banknote is reminiscent of genuine currency from the era, with intricate details and a watermark of Cupid and his bow. This humorous spoof on banking and love during the Victorian age is a delightful reminder of the playful spirit of the past. The Bank of Love's note, with its heartfelt promise, adds a touch of whimsy and romance to the world of finance. It's a unique and charming piece that would make a wonderful addition to any collection, be it for its historical significance or its sheer delightfulness. This print, part of The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to appreciate the lighter side of love and finance during the mid-1800s.
