About This Vintage Greeting Card
This elaborate 1970 Valentine's Day card is a prime example of Hallmark’s high-end mechanical engineering. It features a three-tiered "pop-out" or "easel" construction that creates a dimensional shadow-box scene when standing. The illustration is a lush, Victorian-style display of pink roses, silk-look ribbons, and delicate lattice-work.
Text:
For MOTHER and FATHER
A Valentine of happy thoughts,
Of memories always dear,
And love that just grows deeper still
With every passing year.
