'Turnback Tuesday' features history of celebrating Valentine's Day

Turnback Tuesday wishes you a Happy Valentine's Day.

The origin of St. Valentine's Day is debated, but the month of February has long been celebrated as the month of love.

Countries all over the world celebrate in many different ways with their own traditions.

It is believed that Americans started exchanging handmade valentines in the early 1700s. The tradition grew and by the mid 1800s cards started to be mass produced. These cards would have images of cupid (the god of love), hearts, and flowers displaying signs of affection and love. The lovely postcard shown here dates from 1907-1915.

Derby Public Library has a collection of Valentine's Day Cards on display.

Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting history each week.
