Valentine - Mechanical - Round Birthday bouquet 1875

This circular Victorian Valentine card, created anonymously in 1875, features a delicate floral arrangement of roses, lilies of the valley, and other blooms. Its intricate, gold-trimmed design incorporates a small, oval-shaped "wishing well" with the message: "My wish is may you ever see." This card is a charming example of sentimental Victorian-era craftsmanship and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
