Two more valentines from my friend's collection, neither dated nor used, and therefore without any identifying postmarks. I assume they are from sometime between 1907 and 1912, as have been all the other cards in her collection.
The two figures, the matador valentine and the scotsman valentine, appear to be part of a series. I wonder what the other swains in the series might have been?

I'd never heard the word "Swains". Thanks for expanding my vocabulary!
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely. I'm going to have to collect a few vintage cards before Valentine Day 2011!

Hi again!
ReplyDeleteI just noticed your neon-lit Illinois postcard. If you're interested in taking part in the Festival of Postcards again, than this one would be great for the Light Festival. Entries are due Feb.28!

I remember Aunt Amanda telling me that in her day Valentines were sent anonymously...like, you know, a secret admirer.
