A Happy Tune…With Love
Be My Valentine! This valentine from the Adele Goodman Clark Papers (James Branch Cabell Library, Special Collections and Archives, M9, Box 3) shows a music roll, an antique musical storage medium. Music rolls held tunes encoded by means of perforations in paper, which were then played by a music box or player piano.
The practice of storing information by means of perforations may also be found in Jacquard looms and in early computer storage technology like the punched card and the punched paper tape. A recent art project, Soundweaving, has explored this idea of music and perforations, translating lace patterns into melodies.
Happy Valentine’s Day from VCU Libraries!

Happy Valentines Day!!! Have a great day, even if you are celebrating self love and not love with another person.
I’ve been working on vintage valentines that incorporate Pokémon and this is my first one done! It’s hard to have the right balance of vintage style but also Pokémon characteristics! Hope you guys like it~ ❤️
