Few things date a card as quickly as its greeting, and this hand-colored postcard, printed under the words "Bonne Année," was sent for the New Year rather than for Valentine's Day, despite the board it hangs on. Its couple and bouquet follow the sentimental style common on early twentieth-century greeting cards, when postcards were a cheap and popular way to mail good wishes. The hand coloring, usually applied by women working in print shops or at home, gave each card a slightly different palette, so no two copies look exactly alike. Collectors of this era often note how cupids and flowers drifted between holiday themes, which makes this card a useful reminder that the board's category is a loose one.
