Lead with what sets this card apart: its French title, "Sincères Félicitations," means "sincere congratulations," and it marks the card as a wedding greeting rather than a general valentine. Postcards like this were produced in large numbers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when the picture postcard became a popular, inexpensive way to send good wishes between friends and relatives. Cards of this kind often pictured a posed bride and groom in idealized settings, with decorative borders and printed captions that let senders express affection without writing much. Their pairing with Valentine's Day themes on this board reflects how such images were reused for romantic occasions.
