Victorian Valentine Girl with Blue Forget-Me-Nots Chromolithograph
Text on Card
Fresh flowers and a little line, To greet my dearest Valentine. To My Valentine
Description
A border of red hearts frames this charming Victorian Valentine, drawing the eye to a golden-haired girl in a blue dress who clutches a love letter bearing a red heart. She gazes forward with a slight smile, her back laden with an oversized wicker basket overflowing with blue forget-me-nots. An envelope and scattered flowers rest at her feet, while the soft cream and yellow background—rendered in the delicate chromolithography style of the period—bathes the entire scene in warm, nostalgic light.
