The intricate design showcases the elegance and whimsy of the era, with the king in his regal attire and the queen in her flowing gown and diadem. The heart motif adds an extra layer of meaning, symbolizing the deep love and affection shared between the two. The card, titled "To My Valentine - Over to You," is a testament to the enduring tradition of expressing love and admiration through the exchange of Valentine's Day cards. The image is believed to have been created around 1920, a time when Valentine's Day celebrations were becoming increasingly popular in the United States and Europe.
