"Untitled Valentine (Large Purple and Yellow Flowers)" is a delicate Valentine's Day card created by Dobbs Kidd in the mid-19th century. The card features a delicate cut-out lace design with hand-painted images of pansies, a small bird, and other floral motifs. The card is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago. The delicate nature of the card and the use of flowers and birds represent love and affection, making it a classic and romantic example of Victorian-era greetings.
