A heart-shaped border frames the sentiment "Sweet Valentine, I Think of You," set in the ornate lettering that Valentine cards of the early twentieth century often favored. Cards like this were typically printed in quantity and sold at stationery counters, where shoppers could choose a verse to send to a sweetheart, relative or friend. Mass-produced valentines grew popular in the United States during the late 1800s, when printing advances made colorful, inexpensive paper goods widely available. Notice how the heart motif and the short, affectionate phrase reflect the sentimental taste of the era, when a small card could say what many people found hard to put into words.
