Victorian Valentine Greeting Card: Couple Carving Initials in Tree

While the card celebrates love and devotion, the image actually depicts a man vandalizing a tree in a fever-dream yellow-green forest while his date hovers anxiously behind him watching him do all the work. The man — red tie loosened with romantic urgency — stretches dramatically toward the bark to display a carved heart bearing the initials 'W.T.,' while the woman in her voluminous peach gown leans in from behind, apparently having contributed nothing to this relationship milestone except a blue hair bow and a look of mild concern. The whole scene has the energy of a man showing his girlfriend a tattoo he got of her name before the third date, and she's too polite to run.
