    Ugh. On Valentine’s Day, no less.

    • I didn’t even notice that — thanks for pointing it out! (Although now I’m wondering if/how they celebrated Valentine’s Day in the 1800s?)

        I wondered the same thing. Just did a quick Google search, it seems like Vday cards started being mass produced in the 1840s- and apparently the Victorians were into Vday.
