Text on Card
MY VALENTINE TO PROVE THAT I'LL BE EVER TRUE I SEND THIS LUSCIOUS POP TO YOU E. Rosen Company, Providence, R.I. Net weight, 1/2 oz. Added Color.
Description
A young girl in silhouette crouches to post a love letter into a mailbox, her profile rendered in bold black against a vibrant red heart-shaped background with a delicate scalloped border. This Art Deco-era valentine captures the romantic spirit of 1920s courtship through a clever visual metaphor—the act of sending one's affection through the mail. A wrought iron fence is visible behind the scene. The die-cut card bears the text 'My Valentine' and 'To Prove That I'll Be Ever True I Send This Luscious Pop To You,' referencing a candy or lollipop treat included with the card, a popular novelty in early 20th-century greeting cards.
