An ebullient and cheerful sailor in love, Jack’s the lad.
A real sailor’s valentine, a sailor who will be married with lots of flowers and garlands,
ribbons on his hat, the bride’s hair nicely cut, in a very beautiful dress.
The Knight Templar or war monk can be seen above to protect them like an angel.
In the rose garden the governess shows an open book and reads aloud about the things that life will bring.
The musical female drummer with the Union Jack to her left, has the future lying at her feet.
In the right corner lies the apple, a symbol of fertility since Adam and Eve.
And that’s what a sailor’s valentine is about: happiness, love, prosperity and freedom.
