With Love's Greeting

Description

The romantic sensibilities of the late 19th century shine through in this exquisite Victorian Valentine's greeting card. An elegantly dressed woman in period attire gazes outward from within an ornate heart-shaped frame, holding an arrow across her body with both hands, with a small red heart appearing near the arrow on the left side. The composition showcases typical Victorian design elements: a decorative straw hat adorned with ribbons and flowers, and a color palette of cream, red, green, and gold. The die-cut heart border creates dimensional depth, while a horseshoe and green clover/shamrock embellishments appear below the heart frame. The greeting 'With Love's Greeting' appears in decorative lettering, emphasizing the sentimental purpose. This card represents the height of Victorian greeting card artistry, employing chromolithographic printing techniques to achieve the subtle shading and romantic imagery characteristic of the era.
