"Linked within my heart" from unknown to unknown, undated.
Scope and Contents
Greeting and holiday cards gained popularity in the early 1900s when stamps became more available to all social classes. Valentines are some of the oldest forms of holiday cards, and are typically more intricate and detailed because of the importance attached to the Valentine holiday. Postcards became one of the most popular and easiest types of cards to send in the mail during this period.
This collection contains a variety of Valentine, holiday, and greeting cards, in postcard format as well as standard and pop-up cards. A majority of the noted cards are addressed to the Anderson family, while some remain unknown. The cards were donated by Pauline Knobbs and the cards range in dates between 1910 through 1928, with the bulk from 1910 through 1915.
