Mark Jenkins: Street Installations

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
I work in midtown Manhattan.
42nd & Lexington Ave., to be exact, right across from Grand Central Station.
As the crow flies, that’s just 6 miles. But on the tracks, it can be three trains, 11 stops, and 45 minutes each way.

This is what I see every day commuting to and from work.

Yet beneath the sweet exterior and tender words of these lace-paper beauties lurked something far more sinister - the comic valentine !

These scurrilous printed sheets, entered into the humour of the common and middles classes, fun and mischief were their elements.

In reality they were masterpieces of the grotesque, venomous in humour, spiteful and rude, expressing anything but love.'’ [The Comic Valentine of mid-Victorian England]
