Vintage Valentine's Day Greeting Card with Red Heart & Forget-Me-Nots

The floral crime scene begins immediately: Someone in the Edwardian era looked at this gold embossed heart-pattern background, two red hearts practically drowning in an avalanche of blue forget-me-nots and ivy, and thought 'yes, MORE — more flowers, more hearts, more blue ribbon, more bow, and frankly let's scrawl the date right on the front in cursive because subtlety is for cowards.' The phrase 'A Valentine Offering' on the blue ribbon banner at the bottom hits with the transactional energy of a medieval tithe, which honestly tracks — apparently the best way to express romance is by presenting your beloved with a formally declared *offering* as though love is a toll you pay to enter the kingdom of someone's affections.
