A sentimental Valentine built around a girl in a bonnet, the kind of card that was popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when printed greetings with embossed borders, lace-like paper, and sweet portraits of children and young women became a common way to send affection through the mail. Cards like this one were often produced by commercial lithographers in large runs, and their soft colors and captioned sentiments reflected the Victorian taste for romance expressed through small, handsome objects. Cupid appears in the gallery category, but this card puts its emphasis on the demure figure and the verse, so it is worth looking at how the printed message and the image work together.
