Valentine's Are For Lovers

I have always adored the art of

Harrison Fisher (1877 - 1934),

best known for his lovely illustrations

depicting societies ideal of feminine

beauty at the turn of the century and

edwardian eras.

His women were "strong with vitality

 of buoyant good health,  fresh with

clear-eyed brightness, athletic, cheerful,

sympathetic and beautiful."

(Sounds like the ideal woman

today, doesn't it?)

His illustrations appeared in

the Saturday Evening Post,

Ladies Home Journal,

Scribner's, Life and Cosmopolitan.

Who doesn't love lovers in love?

Happy Valentine's Day!
