Two children, each cradling a red heart, lean toward one another in this sentimental greeting card design. Valentine's cards like this one became popular in the United States and Britain in the mid-1800s, when printers could produce bright chromolithographs and sell them cheaply through shops and by post. Images of children and hearts signaled innocent affection, letting senders express tenderness without the formality of a love letter. Cupid's presence on the board places the card within the broader tradition of Valentine imagery, where simple pictures carried sentiment from one person to another.
