About the Item

St. Valentine's Day -- The Old Story in All Lands Wood engraving, 1868 Published in: Harper's Weekly, February 22, 1868 Titled and signed in the block Image size: 13 5/8 x 9 inches Condition: Very good (paper has usual yellowing from age and Jagged left edge of sheet from removal from magazine) Reference: Beam, Winslow Homer's Magazine Engravings, No. 130 (see photos) It is documented that the wood engravings were created by Homer drawing directly on the woodblock. It was then sent to a woodengraver who specialized in carving magazine illustrations. After the bloc was cut, the publisher would then print it in the magazine such as Harper's Weekly. Philip C. Beam, notes that Homer was the "leading designer of wood engravings of his day, and that many of the engravings are now loved and admired as masterpieces of their kind" and that "At their best they rank with his watercolors and oils for style and beauty." Homer "had his finger on the pulse of American life and his eye on the American scene in an unexcelled fashion during a vibrant and important time in our national life, the years just before and after the Civil War...For insights into what people felt and did on street corners, in parks, on battlefields, or in backyards, as the times moved along, there are few better sources of our visible history." Beam
