Vintage Valentine Card Art Nouveau Woman with Violets

Between the woman clutching her bouquet and the heart-shaped border drowning in purple violets, this Gibson Girl-adjacent beauty gazes off to the side with the serene, self-satisfied expression of someone who absolutely knows she's the main character. The poem below — 'Cupid will tell you plain and true, No other maid I love but you' — is doing its absolute best to compete with the visual, which has already made its argument via cascading floral overkill and a woman in a lavender dress who radiates 'I will be painted on the side of a carousel.' The violet-on-violet-on-violet color scheme suggests whoever designed this had access to exactly one crayon and infinite ambition, and honestly? Respect.
