Heartily Yours: A Timeless Expression of Love and Affection - Teddy Bear Hugs a Large Red Heart on a Valentine Postcard by Lawson Wood (circa 1900s) This enchanting turn-of-the-century postcard, titled "Heartily Yours," features a beloved teddy bear in a tender embrace with a large, vibrant red heart. The heart, adorned with intricate detail and a delicate bow, is the perfect symbol of love and romance. The teddy bear, with its endearing expression and open arms, exudes warmth and comfort, making it the perfect companion for this heartfelt gesture. The artist behind this image is Lawson Wood, a renowned illustrator of the early 20th century. Known for his whimsical and heartwarming illustrations, Wood's work was frequently featured in popular magazines and advertisements of the time. This postcard, with its timeless message of love and affection, is a testament to Wood's ability to capture the essence of romance and emotion. The use of a teddy bear as the central figure in this Valentine's Day design was not an uncommon choice during the early 1900s. Teddy bears had already become a cultural phenomenon by this time, thanks to President Theodore Roosevelt and his famous "Teddy Bear Hunt." The cuddly creatures quickly became a symbol of love, comfort, and companionship, making them the ideal choice for expressing heartfelt sentiments on Valentine's Day postcards. This beautiful postcard, with its heartfelt message and charming design, is a delightful reminder of the enduring power of love and the simple joys of yesteryear. Whether sent to a loved one or kept as a cherished keepsake, "Heartily Yours" remains a timeless expression of affection that continues to touch the hearts of those who discover it.
