A sentimental Valentine card, with children and a spray of daisies as its central motifs, shows how the holiday was marketed to the public in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The phrase "I greet thee" comes from the older tradition of formal verse greetings, which Victorian and Edwardian stationers often paired with pictures of children, flowers and ribbons. Cards like this were typically printed in quantity, hand-colored or lithographed, and exchanged between sweethearts, friends and relatives. Their soft, sentimental imagery reflects the period's taste for innocence and natural symbolism, making them useful examples of how affection was expressed on paper.
