A tinted postcard of a woman and a soldier, sent with a French greeting, places this image among the sentimental cards that circulated widely in Europe and America around the turn of the twentieth century. Hand-colored or lithographically tinted cards like this one were a cheap, popular way to send affection, and many carried verses or short messages that let the sender speak for them. The pairing of a soldier with a sweetheart was a stock romantic theme of the period, reflecting the sentiment and patriotism that often surrounded military service. Its French wording and the soft coloring are worth noticing as signs of the trade in greeting cards of the era.
