Valentine cards of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were often printed with lace-like paper, embossed hearts, and sentimental verses, and many were sold in sets to be mailed or tucked into books. Cards like these reflect how the holiday shifted from handwritten notes to commercially printed greetings as lithographic printing became cheaper and more widely available. Look closely at the ornament and lettering, which show the decorative taste of their era as much as any romantic message.
