- symbolism -
The Victorians took their letter writing very seriously. Really, it was the only means of personal communication over distances. There were books and guides for letter writing etiquette and details were important, such as paper choice, ink color, drawings, ribbons, and envelope ornamentation. The manner of sealing the letter was equally important - sealing wax color, and of course, to choose a seal that would hint to the contents of the letter. In this case, the recipient would know before breaking the seal that this note was from their special MUM.
