A far cry from our social media influenced world today, we have been invited to glimpse at the delightful collection of Victorian Valentine cards held at the Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections Museum. The visit will be led by Isabel Wright, trustee and former senior lecturer in the School of Art at MMU.
This collection of over 32,500 greetings cards, amassed by Laura Seddon, is one of the largest, and most comprehensive sources for the study of 19th Century greetings cards, and holds some of the earliest and rarest examples of commercial cards.
As well as viewing a selection of Valentines cards, there will also be time to visit the exhibition in the gallery at the time, which focuses on historical, modern and contemporary pieces from the Manchester School of Art Collection.
Numbers are strictly limited, so early booking is recommended
