A die-cut Victorian valentine built around a couple and a red rose heart, the kind of sentimental card that circulated in England and America in the 1800s. Valentines of this era were often lace-edged, embossed, or fitted with small mechanical parts, and they were exchanged anonymously or signed with a playful verse. The rose, long a symbol of romantic love, was a favorite motif because it could say what a shy sender might not. Cards like this one show how commercial printing made affection easy to send by mail.
