Two figures and a spray of flowers are the whole subject of this card, with no town, building, or event to anchor it, so its meaning rests on the sentiment printed across it. Postcards like this one, reading "To My Valentine," were a common way to send affection in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated mailing cards became popular and Valentine's Day exchanges were often made on paper. Cards of this kind were usually produced in large runs with stock imagery, which makes them useful for seeing how romance was pictured and what kinds of motifs people expected to find in a greeting.
