Valentines. Adults.

A seated man reads a newspaper (The Times, February 14, Women have the Vote). A woman faces him, kneeling on a pillow, begging for his attention. Text: My valentine, If I can vote, why not propose? If I am bold, you must excuse me. I've loved you ages, goodness knows! And don't you dare, Sir, to refuse me.

A man in a striped suit and straw hat, with a guitar, serenades a long-haired woman in an upper window. Cupid, wearing a military hat, lurks in a tree. Text: Cupid's Military Tactics. A Night Attack. Caught napping. Unfair methods of warfare.

A woman in a long slinky dress holds a snake with hearts floating around her. Text: The Vamp. You roll your bold "magnetic" lamps, on each new man your eye is bent but you would make a bigger hit inside a circus tent.

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.)
