30 unique designs in a tear-out book, each with a vintage postcard back with a dividing line and stamp box.

In the enchanting postcards of the late Victorians, we witness the era's preferences in both love and design. The imagery within this postcard book is predominantly formal, reflecting the Victorians' belief that love was a solemn affair. The depictions include beautiful women, well-groomed children, and classical symbols of February 14th, such as cherubs, ornate hearts, and an abundance of exquisite flowers. This universe is intricately adorned, featuring baroque typography, an abundance of bows and ribbons, and occasional touches of lace. The fusion of Valentine's Day and Victoriana is so harmonious that much of what we recognize as traditional Valentine's Day imagery originates in the Victorian era.
