Two young people lean into one another under a canopy of blossoms, the kind of sentimental scene that postcard makers turned out by the thousands around the turn of the twentieth century. The verse printed alongside the picture was meant to do the talking, so the image itself stays gentle and restrained while the words carry the declaration of affection. Cards like this were mailed as tokens of courtship and friendship, and many were kept in albums or tucked into keepsake boxes. Look closely at the costumes and the stylized flowers, which reflect the illustrated taste of the period.
