Two girls in long dresses and bonnets pose together on a card marked "Bonne Année," the French greeting for the New Year, which sets it apart from the Valentine's Day and Cupid images on this board. Postcards like this were widely mailed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when sending printed holiday greetings was a popular and inexpensive way to keep in touch. The French wording and the sentimental pairing of children reflect the fashion of the period, when the custom of exchanging illustrated cards was spreading across Europe and North America. Look closely at the lettering and costume details, which often help date a card like this one.
