Two children, each clutching an oversized red paper heart, pose at the center of this Valentine card, a sentimental format that was hugely popular in the early twentieth century. Valentine's Day cards of this era were often printed in bright colors with embossed or lithographed decoration, and many were sent between children at school or given to family members as a simple expression of affection. The heart motif, rendered here at nearly the size of the sitters themselves, reflects the sweet, exaggerated sentimentality that defined the holiday's commercial greetings of the period.
