This special edition 1995 Barbie Sweet Valentine is inspired by Hallmark and first in the series recognizing Valentine's Day. 

Sweet Valentine wears a graceful gown from the 1830s - the dawn of the Golden Age of Valentines, when the treasured greetings were lavishly adorned with paper lace and delicately tinted by hand. The ribbon roses on her gown reflect the importance of the rose as a symbol fo love. Roses also appear on the miniature reproduction of the 19th century valentine which is enclosed with this doll. This sweet sentimental verse is typical of romantic valentines of the time:

Dear girl, 
would I but once possess thee,
And know thou wert mine,
To this fond heart
I then would press thee,
My own dear Valentine.
