These lovely vintage Valentine postcards are part of a collection posted online at the New York Public Library Digital Gallery.  It’s interesting to note that red and pink wasn’t the main color scheme for Valentine’s Day cards one hundred years ago.  I like the blue floral valentines, especially the last card of the doves holding the heart.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
