A hand-colored winter postcard of a couple, marked with a Swedish greeting, stands out from the usual red-hearted Valentine's Day cards on this board. Postcards like this were mass-produced in Sweden and across Europe in the early 1900s, when sending a card was a cheap, everyday way to share sentiment. The coloring, usually applied by hand or by a small workshop, gave each card a softer, more individual look than printed color. Winter scenes with snow and bundled figures were especially popular, and cards like this one show how the holiday of romance was celebrated through the seasonal imagery of the north.
