About this postcard

Novelty card with a red heart-shaped flap held by a small metal clasp at left, lettered 'Heart of Waltham'. To the right, three halftone views of Waltham, Massachusetts are linked by a drawn watch chain: the Soldiers Monument and Common, canoeing on the Charles River, and Moody Street, with a pocket watch hanging from the chain at bottom, a nod to the city's identity as a watchmaking center.
