Edwardian Valentine Card: Two Girls Kissing with Watching Dog
Text on Card
WHY DON'T SOMEONE ASK SOMEONE TO BE SOMEONE'S VALENTINE
Description
Soft pastels with vibrant accents wash over this charming Edwardian-era Valentine, which showcases a sweet romantic gesture with a delightful twistβtwo young girls kissing, one in an orange dress with blonde hair and one in a white dress with dark hair and a red ribbon, while a bewildered dog watches from the side. The card's whimsical message, 'Why don't someone ask someone to be someone's Valentine?' cleverly plays on the tradition of Valentine's Day proposals. Decorative postal seals and heart motifs adorn the composition, characteristic of early 20th-century greeting card design.
