Let these flowers speak for me,

They have a language sweet;

They’ll whisper “I love only thee,

And long thy love to meet.”

Beautiful St. Valentine’s postcard from 1924 showing the above verse and a little boy about to give a bouquet of flowers with a note and trailing blue ribbon to a little girl. At the bottom right of the scene is a lace valentine with three arrows that have found their target.

The card is addressed to “George Mugridge, Jr., Sacramento, Calif., 1730 J St. % Ellison”  This postcard is the first of a large private collection from a friend’s family.
