A Gift of Love is a Valentine card built around a bouquet of red and white anemones, flowers whose bold, open petals made them a favorite motif in Victorian-era greeting cards. Valentines of this kind were often hand-colored or embellished with lace, paper, and silk, and they were exchanged as affectionate tokens between sweethearts, friends, and relatives. The anemone, with its loose, delicate form, carried sentimental associations of its own, and its pairing of red and white lends the card a crisp, cheerful look. Pieces like this show how the Valentine tradition moved from handwritten verse toward the decorative printed cards that became popular in the nineteenth century.
