Description

A large red heart dominates this charming Edwardian-era Valentine's greeting card, framing two children—a boy in a white sailor suit and a girl in a pink dress—sharing a kiss. The children have round faces and exaggerated proportions typical of the sentimental aesthetic of early 20th-century romance cards. Set against a green background, the card features the girl wearing a prominent pink bow in her blonde hair and red shoes, while the boy wears blue socks. The heart prominently displays a romantic verse expressing affection and devotion.
