The boy appears to be holding a wishbone and a chocolate heart, while the girl holds flowers and a card that reads: Think of Me. At the bottom the card reads: My heart beats warm / As warm can be / And this is 'cause / Of loving thee / My Valentine / Think of Me. The reverse of the postcard indicates that it was printed in Germany and addressed to Julia Magill.
