Lead with what sets this piece apart: a Valentine card built around doves, envelopes and forget-me-nots, the small blue flowers long associated with remembrance and constancy in sentimental language. Cards like this belonged to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when printed valentines were mass-produced and sent through the post, and when a sender could convey feelings through a set of motifs rather than through words alone. Doves carried messages of tenderness, envelopes stood for the letter itself, and the flowers promised that the sender would not be forgotten. Notice how the three symbols work together as a compact message of love and devotion.
