A collection of six art nouveau style postcards in the Winsch back type style with St. Valentine's Day illustrations featuring young women done by Samuel L. Schmucker on the front. One card sports a silk accent with the illustration printed onto it. Samuel Loren Schmucker's (1879-1921) life was one of hardship and determination. He conquered crippling polio to pursue his passion of art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at the Howard Pyle Institute at Drexel after that. While Schmucker made his name in the postcard business, he also designed the labels for candy boxes, candy labels, and worked in accounting and advertising when the postcard fad had subsided. His inspiring story came to an end in 1921 when he died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 42.
