NYPL Online Catalog of Vintage Valentine Images
The other day we posted our Vintage Valentine craft idea. Well, we just discovered the New York Public Library has a huge collection of Vintage Valentine artwork.
Browse the online galleries of vintage valentines from the Picture Collection of the Mid-Manhattan Library. Get inspiration to create your own valentine, buy a print of your favorite, or just enjoy these colorful and charming cards, part of a treasure trove of holiday postcards from the Picture Collection, a renowned resource for designers of all stripes.
