The Valentines Day Cards Guide – A Guide to
the Different Styles
As you may have already found out, navigating the jungle of
Valentine cards may be overwhelming, especially if you're
not quite sure what it is you want to find – what kind of
artistic style that would fire up your sweethearts flame?
So here is an overview or a guide to some of the most typical
artistic styles of Valentine cards.
Antique Valentines Day Pictures with Real Lace
From around 1850.
Around this time Valentines started to become really popular as
technological advances pushed Valentines into mass production.
This type Valentine card was one the earliest types made
popular and os characterized by real creative craftsmanship with
lots of neat lace, ribbons and paper cuttings decoratively glued
onto the card.
This makes the Valentine card not only nice to look at but
also special to touch as the relief surface naturally goes up
and down when you slide your finger across it.
Beautiful Old Valentine Photos
Photographic Valentines Day cards were quite popular in the
beginning of the 1900s, starting with the late Victorian Era.
These types of Valentines are typically held in the old style
brownish colors with small specks of sharp colors here and there
that make nice decorative contrasts.
These Valentine pictures would typically either just feature
a pretty woman holding on to popular Valentine symbols like a
heart or roses (like in the photo to the right) or sometimes
they would show a couple in love hugging or otherwise showing
each other affection.
Vintage Cards with Valentines Poems
Many of the old
Valentines cards from the early 1900s are often very
colorful, decorative and artistic.
The beautiful drawing or painting to the right is typical in
the sense that it features a heart in which we see a woman's
head. You will find many portraits of women inside hearts when
you search for Valentines cards.
This type of Valentine pictures will often be further
decorated with a small Valentine poem that is supposed to tell
the woman of a man's affectionate feelings.
'I feel so happy when I think of you
Let's be one instead of two.'
(Yes, around that time it were only men that sent Valentines
– for a woman to do it would be quite socially unacceptable.
Funny enough, statistics say that today woman tend to send more
Valentines than men. Interesting development, right!).
VValentines Cards with a Cute Little Cupid
Yes, Cupid with his bow and arrow is also to find on many,
many Valentines Day cards. Cupid is the god of passionate
love and thus fits perfectly into the love theme Valentine's
Day.
Most often on Valentine cards you will find the sweet the
little cupid angel aiming at the woman or the little girl.
In this way Cupid is often indirectly portrayed as the man's
or the little boy's helper. Because if the woman or girl get hit
by one of Cupid's arrows, she will be filled with limitless love
and passion.
What every man dreams of, I guess! 🙂
Homemade Printable Valentines from Photos
With the all the electronic technologies available to us
today, many people make their own homemade printable Valentine
cards. You can too. E.g. photos of flowers, sunsets or hearts
will work wonderfully on e.g.
printable Valentine cards.
As an example we have made the one above. We have found
ourselves a photo of a white rose that is in public domain (no
copyright) and have written Happy Valentine's on it in
Photoshop.
Simple, neat and quite a nice result, don't you think!
If you don't feel like making one yourself you're more than
welcome to use one of the Valentine pictures you see on this
page and our other Valentines Day pictures pages (they are not
to be used commercially, though, thank you).
