The printed line "The Sweetest Flower That Blows" runs across this postcard, which pairs a courting couple with a single rose and lets the words carry much of the sentiment. Cards like this belong to the picture-postcard boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when postage was cheap and sending a greeting was a common habit. Valentine's Day cards from this era often relied on flowers, ribbons and posed scenes to express affection in the formal, indirect way courtship was conducted at the time. The costumes and staging are worth a close look, since they date the card and show how romance was pictured for people who mailed it.
