Catalog number VAL-42 is the only identifying detail on record, filed under the Applewood group of the Valentine's Day collection. Valentine's Day imagery became a popular commercial subject in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printed cards and sentimental illustrations were mass-produced and mailed between friends, sweethearts and family. Designs from this period leaned on a familiar vocabulary of hearts, cupids, flowers and ribbon borders, so they show how affection was expressed and sold at the time. The repetition of those few symbols across many designs is worth noticing.
