Postcard valentines were fashionable in early America, often collected and pasted into albums. More elaborate valentines became popular in the mid-1800s. This exhibit explores the evolution of valentines. Perhaps you will be inspired to make your own! Or, you can purchase reproductions of our historical valentines from Maine Memory's companion website, Vintage Maine Images.
