Two rosy-cheeked girls in exaggerated national costume — one in a sweeping Dutch cap and sailor suit, the other in a green cap with a red cravat — lean toward each other across a breezy harbor scene with a sailboat, their comic exchange rendered in mock-immigrant dialect: "I vish id yuh'd make yuhr problems mine problems too!" — a cheeky Valentine's Day sentiment mailed from Cleveland, Ohio on February 14, 1917, from Eleanor to her friend Adelaide, who lived just a few blocks away on East 71st Street. The humor reflects the era's fondness for ethnic caricature postcards, a genre that was enormously popular in the early twentieth century, though viewed through a very different lens today.
