Victorian Valentines
By
*Gypsy Joy*
I’m having so much fun viewing the Victorian Valentines
from the Lilly Library Collection.
Hope you will, too.
Embossed lace design Victorian papers are a joy to look at.
The 2nd picture of “A Flowering of Affection” shows a
sweet ca. 1865 Victorian girl playing with her dog
and the phrase: “I love thee my sweetheart”.

Here you find three 3-dimensial pictures.
The striking figure of a lady emerging from a flower
and addressed “To My Friend” ls a
delight to the eye.

“My heart is thine” a classical coloured and gilded image.
Oh! Let my love
Thy pity move
For pity melts
The mind to love.
Grand to send to your “Queen”, gentleman!
