1950s Edwardian Revival Heart-Shaped Valentine Card

About This Vintage Greeting Card

This elegant heart-shaped vintage Valentine’s Day card features a sophisticated construction where the sentiment is printed on a separate interior sleeve. The card follows a romantic Edwardian revival theme, with a real pink satin ribbon bow on the front that binds the interior sleeve to the die-cut outer shell.

Front Text:
A VALENTINE to Say "I LOVE YOU"

Inside Text:
I love you, love you, Sweetheart!
And I love to say it too;—
I love the way you talk and smile,
The things you say and do;
I love to think about you
Each minute of the day;
I love you more
than words of mine
Have power to convey!

With all my heart—
Lorraine
