A Valentine card from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, when printed greeting cards with embossed or lace-edged paper were newly popular, carries its message in the image itself: a key, a traditional symbol for unlocking a heart. Cupid, the winged figure of desire from Roman myth, was a staple of these cards, and his presence here ties the sentiment to a long tradition of romantic iconography. Such cards were often exchanged anonymously or with a few handwritten words, so the printed design did much of the talking.
