"My Heart Beats Fondly (Valentine)" is an 1850s watercolor and ink drawing by Joseph Addenbrooke, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago. This charming Valentine card features a hand-painted pink rose and blue flowers, delicate lace trim, and a central banner inscribed with romantic sentiments. The inscription, "My heart it beats fondly, My love for you, - Thou and thou only, Affection is true," emphasizes the Victorian era's focus on sentimental expression in art.
