Forget-me-nots, tiny blue flowers tucked among the lettering and ornament, are the detail that sets this card apart from the cupids and hearts that dominate its board. The flower carried a long symbolic load in Victorian sentiment, where a small bouquet could say what a person was too shy to write aloud. Valentines of this kind were often hand-colored or embossed and sent between friends, sweethearts, and relatives, and the blossom's message of remembrance made it a favorite on cards meant to be kept rather than thrown away. Look closely at the floral clusters to see how the artist arranged them around the verse.
