"True Love's Fond Token (Valentine)" is a watercolor painting on paper by Joseph Addenbrooke, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The small, delicate painting features a single pink flower and leaves, enclosed in a decorative, gold, lace-like frame. This Victorian-era Valentine’s Day card is a charming example of the romantic sentimentality associated with the holiday. The artwork's title and the intricate floral motif within the frame clearly communicate the card's intended purpose.
