A courting couple, a bunch of roses, and a New Year's greeting make an unusual pairing, and this card leans on the romantic imagery that Valentine's Day postcards made familiar. Cards of this kind were mass-produced in the early twentieth century, when illustrated postcards were a cheap, fast way to send good wishes across towns and countries. Printers often reused sentimental motifs such as roses and lovers for different holidays, so a New Year card could carry the look of a Valentine. The board's Cupid theme fits the sweet, idealized style of the period, when messages were brief and the picture did much of the talking.
