From the Worst Valentine Card Ever to the Oldest: Scrapbook.com Exposes the History of Valentine's Day Cards

MESA, Ariz., Feb. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation for the upcoming day of love, Scrapbook.com has released the most thorough history of Valentine's Day cards on the web. From risque Roman roots, to controversial love, and the world's oldest Valentine's Day card to the worst, this piece of research entertains as much as it educates.

"It's hard to come by someone who has never received a Valentine's Day card," explained Scrapbook.com's Historical Research Specialist, Sarah Richards, "so we decided to investigate the origins of giving them. We had no idea how controversial, oftentimes funny, and surprisingly forward-thinking the idea of giving Valentine's Day cards was!"

Scrapbook.com, in its endeavor to uncover the heart of valentine giving, also scoured the world and accrued a miscellany of antique Valentine's Day cards.  Some of the pieces date back to the 1800s and the collection includes several antique, handmade cards, and even Vinegar Valentines (Victorian Insult Cards). Scrapbook.com has photographed the historical pieces and included the photographs as part of the surprisingly juicy and entertaining resource.

In its mission to empower beautiful, meaningful, handmade creation, Scrapbook.com is the most-visited scrapbooking and cardmaking site and store online. Home to educational articles, hundreds of free classes, and a plethora of paper cardmaking supplies, Scrapbook.com's Research Team continues to explore, document, and unveil the histories of crafting and memory keeping.
