Two women in long dresses share the foreground of this Valentine greeting postcard, surrounded by a spray of flowers rendered in soft, bright color. Cards like this were a staple of the early twentieth century, when the postal service was fast and cheap enough that a few words and a picture could be mailed across town the same day. Sentimental imagery of this kind, with flowers and courting figures, was popular for expressing affection without a long letter. Applewood's Valentine's Day holdings include many cards of this type, and this one shows the decorative, romantic style that defined the genre.
