A vintage Valentine card shows a girl singing with an open book in hand, a dog sitting close beside her. Cards like this were mass-produced in the early twentieth century, when printers turned out sentimental scenes of children for the holiday, and the pairing of a child with a pet was a favorite motif. The softly colored lithograph style and the cheerful, slightly old-fashioned pose reflect the sentimental taste of that era, when hand-written greetings often accompanied printed images like this one.
