A hand-colored postcard showing a couple seated on a bench, with the handwritten-style line "We're feeling great, how are you?" printed across it, places this piece in the Victorian-era tradition of greeting cards that used sentiment and pastel tinting to carry a message. Cards like this were often mailed as affectionate notes between friends, sweethearts or family, and the pairing of a romantic scene with a brief, cheerful question reflects the period's habit of making small paper objects do social work. Hand coloring was a common finishing step before color printing became cheap, so the soft tones here were applied by hand, which gives each surviving example its own slight variations.
