A courting couple shares the frame with a crowd, a detail that sets this card apart from the simpler sweethearts-and-hearts designs that dominate the Valentine's Day section. The painted look and the Underwood signature point to the early twentieth century, when postcards were the everyday way to send a sentimental message. Cards like this were often mailed in February, and their busy scenes gave the sender a playful way to suggest a private romance hidden in plain sight. The name Underwood refers to the publishing firm known for its many holiday and courtship postcards of the period.
