Pink fairies drift across this Valentine greeting postcard, their wings and gauzy gowns washed in soft rose tones above the printed message "With Love's Greeting." Cards like this were a staple of the early twentieth century, when mass-produced postcards made sending a sentiment cheap and quick, and a card could carry a sweetheart's wish in a few words. Fairy imagery was especially popular in those years, drawing on the Victorian taste for whimsical, dainty figures, and its filing under angels and fairies reflects how illustrators blurred the two into one sentimental vocabulary of love and good wishes.
