Victorian Valentine's Day Greeting Card with Children & Flowers

The young gentleman in the aggressively tall green top hat clutches a heart-on-a-stick like he's won it at a carnival, while the girl beside him—draped in a salmon ballgown roughly three times the volume of her body—sniffs a pink rose and refuses to make eye contact with him or God. Ellen H. Clapsaddle's contribution to the Victorian project of making romantic love deeply weird extends to the tagline 'I love my Love because I know my Love loves me,' which is the logical equivalent of 'I am confident because I feel confident,' dressed up in fancy script to disguise the emotional vacancy. His finger-to-lips pose suggests he is either bashful or deeply reconsidering his life choices, which, honestly, same.
