'Turnback Tuesday' highlights history of exchanging valentines

Turnback Tuesday wishes you a Happy Valentine's Day! 

The original origins 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 affection and love. 

This lovely postcard is part of the Library’s collection circa 1910.

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