A Victorian couple in formal dress, pictured with a ring and a printed verse, anchors this card within the sentimental trade that flourished in the late 1800s. Valentine postcards of this kind were mass-produced in Britain and the United States, often with lithographed borders and rhyming lines that let a sender express affection without writing much at all. Cards like this one were posted in the days before the holiday, so they capture both the courtship customs of the era and the growing commercial appetite for seasonal greetings.
