Two figures stand close together among a tangle of pink wild roses, a motif that turns up again and again on painted postcards of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Cards like this one were typically printed in quantity, with hand-applied color, and sent between sweethearts or friends, often at Valentine's Day, when the rose and an embracing pair carried a clear message of affection. Lovers' scenes of this kind helped make the picture postcard a popular way to say what might have been awkward to put into words.
