Valentines. Cupids

Cupid has shot an arrow at a target on an easel. Text on a heart surrounded by roses: Tho' Cupid's dart has reached my heart, and pierced it through and through. I did not mind, sweet Valentine, because it came from you.

A Cupid figure in the corner, roses, a bouquet of blue flowers, a heart hovering over a flaming chimney. Text: To my valentine.

A Cupid figure writes on a scroll with a feather pen. Text: For 1909 no long engagements (underlined). No divorces. No bachelors (underlined). No bachelor-girls. No new women! (underlined)

The Valentine's Day cards are from the Ann Rayburn Collection of Paper Americana (MUM00380). A portion of that collection's postcards has been digitized. (Finding aid available here.)
