I have a weakness for antique Valentine Day Post Cards.
I love the cheeky ones...the innocent double entendre...versus Cupids and arrows and hearts.
Since V-Day is only a few days away....I thought I would post some of my favorites from my collection.
"Lucky Jim" is a bit of a puzzler. Dated 1909, someone in very nice script wrote "Happy Valentine's Day" on the back.
Unfortunately, I can't make out the signature...is it from a man or a woman?
Lucky Jim is sure one special guy.....puffing on his cigarette and coddled by three adoring women.
Who sent the post card might skew the interpretation.
Is this a hint from a man to a woman? Is this a hint from a woman to a man?
Is this a reminder of something that happened in real life? A Valentine Menage a Trois?
Or a suggestion for one?
An interesting fantasy a couple share?
A joke...because in real life Jim is not attractive and this is beyond his wildest dream?
So many interesting interpretations....with only one certainty....Jim is lucky!
