Lead with the embossed surface: the raised, pressed relief that gives this card its glossy, sculpted look. Embossed Valentines were a popular style in the early twentieth century, when German and American printers pressed designs with floral sprays, hearts and sentimental phrases like "True Love" into thick paper stock. Cards like this were often exchanged in school classrooms and between sweethearts, and their gilded or colored accents made them feel like small luxury objects. Look closely at the raised outlines of the blooms and the lettering to see how the embossing catches the light.
