The wording "In Memory Dear, My Valentine" sets this card apart from the playful verses common to the genre, pointing to a keepsake meant to be kept rather than tossed aside after the holiday. Valentines like this were mass-produced in the United States and Britain from the mid-1800s onward, often with embossed borders, lace-paper edging, and printed verse that let senders express feelings they might find hard to say aloud. Sentimental cards of this kind reveal as much about Victorian and Edwardian manners of courtship and affection as they do about the holiday itself.
