John Windsor's "Untitled Valentine (Reclining Antique Couple)" is a delicate and ornate Valentine's Day card, created in 1855. The card features a reclining couple, likely an antique figurine, adorned with intricate lace and flowers. The couple is framed by an elaborate gold-embossed border, with an oval mirror in the center, symbolizing reflection and love. The card is a testament to the Victorian era's appreciation for romantic sentimentality and intricate craftsmanship, a testament to the beauty of Victorian paper art.
