artiFACT Postcard Postcard

Postcard

Estimated value: $5-$10

This Valentine's card was produced in the early 1900s, when Rochester was experiencing rapid industrial growth and the exchange of ornate, mass-produced valentines had become a cherished American tradition among middle and working-class families. The sentiment and aesthetic reflect the Edwardian era's romanticization of femininity and courtship, values that shaped social rituals in upstate New York industrial cities.
