Vintage Sweetheart Greeting Card: Woman Thinking of You
Text on Card
What do you 'spose I am thinking about? Oh, you will guess it, I haven't a doubt! Just simply sitting, as I often do, Thinking and thinking of nothing but you!
Description
"I think of you always" reads the sentimental verse on this charming Edwardian-era greeting card, featuring a contemplative young girl seated on a wooden bench, rendered in chromolithography. She wears traditional folk costume with a white linen bonnet, green jacket, and crimson skirt, her hand raised thoughtfully to her chin. The romantic devotion expressed captures the essence of early 20th-century courtship culture, when elaborately illustrated greeting cards served as primary vehicles for expressing affection and romantic longing.
