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.About the Series:More bang for your buck!
