ValentineÕs Day
After Christmas,
ValentineÕs Day was the next favorite holiday for the Victorians.
ValentineÕs cards became a popular keepsake for pasting into their
scrapbooks. Victorian Valentines were treasured not only for their
sentimental value but also for their visual beauty. From the beginning
scraps were used as decorative additions to Valentine cards. The
Victorians would start with a simple beautifully coloured picture
and then enhanced it with paper lace, embossed decorations and other
beautifully coloured prints.
