Victorian Valentine's Day Card Two Children Heart Die-Cut 1890s

The card's text reads 'My devoted heart is thine, Thee I love my Valentine,' which sets the tone for an arrangement that somehow manages to be more aggressively romantic than the visual warrants. Nestled inside a lace doily heart on an aggressively red background, two bonneted children sit together on what appears to be grass, with the boy clutching a small red heart that says 'BE MINE'—because apparently the best way to demonstrate 'healthy emotional boundaries' is a child brandishing a possessive demand as a gift. A feathered arrow pierces through a tag reading 'To My Valentine' up top, while the girl, dressed head-to-toe in white like a tiny Victorian bride, sits placidly in the boy's orbit, apparently unbothered by the fact that she has been literally targeted by Cupid's weaponry and a child who came prepared with signage.
