Victorian Valentine's Day Card with Children in Heart Frame

The boy clutching his little red hat like it owes him money is absolutely smirking, which is doing a lot of unsettling work here—two children dressed in full Victorian regalia, the girl in a floor-length blue dress with floral trim and the boy in mustard yellow trousers and lace-collared shirt, are slow-dancing inside a glowing white heart on a blood-red background, because apparently the best way to celebrate 'innocent childhood' is by staging kids in a literal romantic arena. While the girl looks like she's calculating her exit strategy, the cursive text helpfully informs us 'I love my Love because I know My Love loves me,' a sentiment so circularly co-dependent it could have been written by a Victorian therapist's worst patient, all capped off with the cheerful declaration 'To My Valentine' in festive green lettering at the bottom, as if any of this needed more commitment.
