In this enchanting print titled "St. Valentines Morning, 1863" we are transported back in time to witness a captivating scene of love and admiration. Painted by the talented John Callcott Horsley, this masterpiece captures the essence of a romantic morning on Valentine's Day. The focal point of the image is a young maid, elegantly dressed and seated at her vanity table. With an air of anticipation and excitement, she gazes into the mirror with devotion, admiring herself as if preparing for a special encounter. Her faithful lapdog rests beside her, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. This artwork beautifully portrays themes of vain indulgence and fidelity through its intricate details. The ornate mirror reflects not only the maid's physical beauty but also her inner desires for affection and adoration.
