Still another comic valentine of a century
ago Q8O3) dedicated "To a Lady Who
Squints' reveals the fact that the same dog
gerel used to-day was not unknown then:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-02-13


covered all corners of the globe in his search,
and many of the rarest specimens in his great
collection of more than two thousand have
been picked up for him by European dealers.
The collection of the valentines of olden
times discloses the fact that in the era of our
grandparents, before manufactured valentines
were thought of, there was extensive resort to
valentine writer's which were books of
specially prepared verses and sentiments for
the use of those who must needs prepare their
own poetry.
Some idea of the popularity of these obsolete
booklets. which were used prior to 1880 by
those who despatched missives each fateful
fourteenth of February century or more ago,
may be formed from the fact that Mr.. Baer has
upward of one hundred different specimens in
his collection. Some of them were published
in the eighteenth century, and the most recent
of them is dated 1900. These aids to devotees
of Saint Valentine were issued annually after
the fashion of almanacs and the publishers in
variably laid great stress upon the fact that the
humorous and satirical poems presented were
original and composed expressly for the volume
in which they appeared. The booklets usually
sold for sxpence. and all the more pretentious
ones had frontispieces in three colors bearing
representation of Cupid, or some scene or sym
Dol appropriate to the occasion.
Something of their character and contents
may be surmised from the titles: "Quizzing
Valentine Writer" "Rhapsodies and Pas
Ladies Petite s valentine ne
"The Gentlemen's New Valentine Writer"
"Cupids Annual Charter, "Cupid's Cabinet
Against Old Maids and Old Bachelors and Inn
pertinent Coxcombs, or a New Valentine
Writer for the Present Year" Bellies and
Bucks Who Throng to Hymens Court, The
Satirical Valentine Writer"
Trades people in those days of long ago
had valentine writer's that were published for
their special benefit. and it was quite the proper
thing for the young merchant to address his
lady1ove in rime that made more or less yelled
allusion to his calling. Thus the following is
from grocer to the object of his devotion:
"Your breath is allspice, declare,
And you're neat and handy

which were in cir

IN these days of col

hunters embrace every

strange that the valen-

grandmothers are as
rare as any antique

day folks can compare
the valentines of 1910
with the love tokens of
our ancestors. with
their wealth of flowery
sentiment: for, oddly
enough, almost none OF
these oldtime missives
have been preserved.
The leading museums
