Children drawn in a sentimental Valentine's Day scene, with a forget-me-not heart at the center, make this card a fine example of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century greeting style. Forget-me-nots carried a long-standing Victorian meaning of remembrance and faithful affection, so the flower was a natural choice for a message between sweethearts or friends. Cards like this were often printed in large runs, sold in stationers and mailed in envelopes, and they reflected a period when a few words and a small illustration could say what was hard to speak aloud. Look closely at the childlike figures, which were a common way to soften romantic sentiment for a general audience.
