EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of love and devotion during the 19th century. Created by George Kershaw, this hand-coloured lithograph on embossed ivory wove paper transports us to a time when heartfelt declarations were expressed through written words. The image showcases an English couple in an architectural setting, standing on a balcony overlooking the picturesque countryside. The man, with his gallant posture, kneels before his beloved, presenting her with a beautifully designed greeting card. Their expressions radiate affection and romance as they exchange vows of love on Saint Valentine's Day. Kershaw's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the vibrant colours that bring life to the scene, to the intricate hand-tinted ink work that adds depth and texture. The delicate handwriting on the card further emphasizes the personal touch and sentimentality of this intimate moment. As we gaze upon this old-fashioned yet timeless piece, we are reminded of how gestures of love have transcended time and continue to hold significance today. "I Tell You Sincerely (Valentine)" serves as a testament to enduring traditions and reminds us that true devotion knows no bounds. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this heritage art captures not only British culture but also represents universal themes of love and connection that resonate across generations. It serves as a reminder for all who view it that expressing our deepest emotions can be both beautiful and profound.
