Victorian Valentine Greeting Card with Children & Hearts
Text on Card
Loving Wishes
Description
Warmth and sentimentality radiate from this charming Victorian-era greeting card, where the elegantly scripted sentiment 'Loving Wishes' graces the top. Two beautifully dressed children are depicted with a decorative wheelbarrow containing large red hearts—the girl on the left wearing a pale blue dress with ruffled trim and boots, the child beside her in a coral-pink floral dress. The ornate heart-shaped frame features a lush garland of forget-me-nots, roses, and golden ribbon bows, with red hearts hanging from the right side. The deep plum background creates rich contrast with the scene, exemplifying Victorian chromolithographic printing at its finest.
