A hand-colored postcard marked "Bonne Année" places this sentimental scene under a New Year greeting rather than the Valentine's theme of the board it hangs on, a small twist worth noticing. Postcards like this were a popular way to send good wishes in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when printed cards were often finished by hand with watercolor or aniline dyes to look more like paintings. The pairing of a couple with flowers follows the period's taste for romantic imagery, which was used to express affection, hope and good fortune across the seasons.
