A sentimental greeting card in the classic Valentine style, this postcard pairs a couple embracing with a large red heart and the printed words "To my Valentine." Cards of this kind were produced in great numbers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated postcards became a popular and inexpensive way to send affection through the mail. Many were printed by lithography and hand-colored or stamped with gilt, and their stock imagery of romance, heart motifs and sweet phrases reflects the era's taste for expressing feelings through pre-printed sentiment.
