A card-style greeting from the Valentine's Day section of the gallery, the piece is titled "A Greeting to my Valentine," and its inclusion of two children sets it apart from the many romantic-only valentines on the same board. Valentine's cards became mass-produced in the United States and Britain during the late nineteenth century, when printers used lithography and embossed paper to sell sentimental messages to a growing middle-class market. Images that showed families, rather than lovers alone, reflected the holiday's shift toward affection among relatives and friends as well as sweethearts. Looking closely at the children's poses and dress can reveal how Victorian-era artists framed domestic warmth as a Valentine's Day theme.
