Book Reviews of Valentines: Vintage Holiday Graphics (Icons)
Book Review: great, but cover slightly misleading
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great reference book for nostaligic valentines, mostly 50's-ish. Judging on the cover I was hoping for more images Victorian/turn of the century style valentine cards. Still a great book.
Summary of Valentines: Vintage Holiday Graphics (Icons)
While it may be true that our annual celebration of love began as a pagan feast of the flesh in third century Rome, that shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying this charming collection of Valentine's Day ephemera. From cards to candy boxes, party favors to ads and more, these classic graphics celebrate the holiday of love during the period of 1900 to the 1960s. You'll find the pun quotient to be delightfully high, exemplified by such gems as a baker exclaiming, "You're surely well 'bread'" and a bullfighter vowing "Bullieve me - I love you!" To put the imagery in context, Steven Heller's introductory essay traces the history of Valentine's Day.Pop Culture Books
