A boy in a red heart is the centerpiece of this Valentine postcard, which carries the sentiment "My Heart's Best Gift" across its face. Early twentieth-century postcards like this one were a cheap and popular way to send affection, and Valentine's Day cards of the era often used embossed paper, bright chromolithographed color, and sweet child figures to express romantic feeling in a gentle, playful way. Cards such as this were mailed in large numbers around February 14, so they offer a useful glimpse into everyday sentimental culture.
