About this postcard
A winged cherub in pink drapery stands beside a large cluster of green four-leaf clovers against a textured gold ground, under the printed greeting "To my Valentine." Four-leaf clovers were popular luck emblems, and cherubs and cupids were standard Valentine motifs in the early twentieth century.
