Victorian Valentine Greeting Card with Children & Heart
Text on Card
With Love and Devotion My heart is small, but it is true And I will offer it to you No rival can compare with mine Let me be your true Valentine
Description
Valentine sentiment meets Victorian formality in this charming card featuring three children surrounding an oversized red heart framed by delicate white baby's breath flowers against a teal background. The central heart displays the sentiment 'With Love and Devotion' in red and blue lettering. Two children observe while the central child holds what appears to be a thin tool (paintbrush or stylus) and a pink ribbon extending from the heart. The accompanying verse speaks to sincere devotion and true love, rendered in blue script at the card's lower right.
