A girl pushing a wheelbarrow heaped with hearts is the detail that sets this card apart from the usual Valentine's Day scenes of cupids and roses. The title, "To My Valentine," places it among the sentimental greeting cards that became popular in the United States and Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when printers produced mass-market valentines with lace, embossed paper and cheerful lettering. Cards like this one were often exchanged between children and young sweethearts, who used them to express affection in a playful, indirect way. Its gentle humor and bright colors show how the holiday was marketed to ordinary households as much as to romantics.
