A Valentine postcard built around two hearts and a rhyming verse, it belongs to the Cupid strand of the gallery's Valentine's Day holdings, where the winged god of love often appears as the messenger between sweethearts. Cards like this one were a mainstay of early twentieth-century courtship, when a few printed lines could carry sentiment that many people found hard to say aloud. Printed in quantity by lithographers and sent through the mail, they turned the holiday into a national custom. Look closely at the lettering and the pairing of the hearts, which together show how the sentimental postcard shaped the way Americans expressed affection.
