This charming vintage postcard from 1910 features a whimsical illustration titled "A St Valentine PIPE DREAM." The delightful design by Grace Harlow depicts a cherubic figure, often associated with Cupid, blowing into an exaggeratedly long yellow pipe. From the pipe's bowl, smoke gracefully ascends and curls into multiple heart shapes, symbolizing love and romantic aspirations. The artwork captures the innocent and romantic spirit of the Edwardian era, making it a wonderful piece of historical ephemera for collectors of holiday or fantasy-themed postcards.The reverse side reveals a clear "Post Card" divided back, characteristic of postcards from this period. It bears a crisp February 10, 1910, postmark from Bristol, Virginia, along with a one-cent U.S. postage stamp. The postcard was addressed to Miss Sue Mae Lincoln in Columbia, Tennessee, and includes a handwritten message conveying sweet sentiments, adding a personal touch and a glimpse into past correspondence. This collectible item is a beautiful representation of early 20th-century Valentine's Day greetings and offers a tangible connection to history.
