Description
This humorous Valentine or romantic-themed postcard from 1915 features an illustrated lady in an elegant period dress being playfully “held up” by two masked cupids wielding toy pistols. The cupids wear hats and masks, adding a whimsical and theatrical flair.
The poetic text reads:
“You will not part with a bit of your heart
No matter how hard I may pray
But love, I am told,
Is a robber bold
And none can say him nay.”
Published by Nash Series No. 839, the card is postmarked Sunnyvale, California, Feb 15, 1915, and addressed to Miss Jane Henderson in San Francisco. The illustration style and verse reflect the Edwardian era’s fondness for romantic humor and elaborate costume themes.
