A romantic postcard from the early twentieth century, decorated with a flower basket and sent as a Valentine's greeting. Cards like this were part of a booming holiday trade. Once cheap color printing became common, companies churned out millions of sentimental cards for February 14, and the flower basket, a stock motif of the era, signaled affection and good wishes. Its printed inscription, "To my Love," shows how such cards let senders express feelings that were often hard to say aloud.
