Victorian Valentine Card with Children & Violet Wreath

Two tiny children crammed together inside a heart-shaped wreath of dark purple flowers dominate this card—one sporting a straw boater hat with a dramatic pink ribbon while the other draped in a blue bonnet that could shelter a small village clutches what appears to be a gold heart like it's collateral. Their faces have that quintessential Victorian quality of children who have seen things, rendered with wide eyes and expressions hovering somewhere between wistful and mildly haunted, surrounded by a chaotic wallpaper explosion of pink daisies on a blue-grey background. The smaller heart in the corner reads 'To my Valentine' in delicate cursive, which feels almost quaint given that the main composition looks less like romance and more like two tiny Edwardian hostages negotiating their release through the power of flowers.
