Snowdrops and red hearts share this card's cheerful design, and the pairing is a nice reminder of how early Valentine's Day arrived in the Victorian season of small floral greetings. Snowdrops are among the first flowers to push through winter's last frost, so they were often used to suggest hope and the turning of the year, while the red hearts supplied the romantic message. Cards of this kind were typically hand-finished or printed in small runs, and they were exchanged privately, so the sentiment written inside mattered as much as the picture on the front.
