A sweetheart stands at the center of this card: a large red heart with a pair of figures kissing right beside it. Valentine postcards like this one became popular in the United States and Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when cheap color printing and the postal service made it easy to send a sentimental greeting for a penny or two. Designs of this kind often leaned on bold, flat shapes and romantic imagery, so the heart here doubles as both symbol and décor. Cards were typically signed or addressed in pencil or ink, which is why surviving examples often carry a personal message on the reverse.
