There are several different numbered series of cards marked by the initials J.G.H. All feature figures with similarly drawn features: short, bobbed hair, noses hardly here, and small mouths with blushing cheeks. There are many standing cards that fold in a variety of ways often having peek-a-boo cut-outs or an opening flap. Also to be found are postcards with Diamond - H Line marked on the reverse. Each postcard design is numbered. There are at least eight of them. The cards and postcards appear to date to the 1920s, perhaps into the 1930s.

Who or what those initials may stand for I have not come across. It most is likely an American artist and/or publisher as the cards are usually marked made in the USA.


To My Valentine ~ I bring these flowers to you sweet Valentine To tell you of my love and claim you as mine.
