Text on Card
To my true Love
Description
A young woman in elegant period dress stands beside an imaginative wheelbarrow overflowing with red and pink hearts in this charming Victorian-era Valentine from the 1890s. She wears a large green bonnet adorned with ribbons and a pink rose, with a matching green ensemble completing her romantic presentation. The wheelbarrow is decorated with blue ribbon bows, and additional pink hearts hang from the front on delicate strings. Small blue forget-me-not flowers are nestled among the hearts, while green botanical elements and ribbon bows frame the figure to create an ornamental, garden-like scene. The die-cut design enhances the card's whimsical appeal. 'To my true Love' is inscribed below in period typography in gold script, emphasizing the card's romantic purpose.
