A pair of sweethearts is the focus here, shown in soft hand-applied color with a bouquet of flowers held between them. Victorian-era postcards like this were often tinted by hand, sometimes by workers at a printing shop who brushed watercolor over a black-and-white base, so no two copies look exactly alike. Cards of this kind were sent to express affection, and Valentine's Day was a popular occasion for exchanging them. Their sentimental imagery reflects the courtship customs of the period, when a gift of flowers signaled romantic interest.
