Description
A delicate printed border frames this charming Edwardian-era Valentine's greeting, which captures two young children in matching blue outfits at a windowsill or ledge. One child faces away from the viewer while the other faces forward, appearing to interact with each other. Candies or sweets are visible on the ledge between them, and small heart-shaped or red items are scattered on the floor below. The illustration showcases tender sentimentality typical of early 20th-century Valentine cards.
