Happy #ValentinesDay! Today we are sending "Loving Thoughts," a World War I era postcard from NLM's historical Prints & Photographs collection. Produced by Bamforth & Co., the front features an oval color picture of a young nurse framed by a bouquet of roses.
Postcard features an oval color picture of a young nurse looking up. She is wearing a white head scarf and blue dress with a white collar. A Red Cross emblem is prominent on her headscarf and on the portion of the white apron visible on the picture. Above her head is a bouquet of multicolored roses with flowing green ribbons. Next to her, on the right side is a brown and gold butterfly.
