It's a "Snap" to Love You Valentine

It's a "Snap" to Love You Valentine
A St. Valentine's Day or love photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

Mouse over the image to see an enlargement of the top portion of the card.

"It certainly is a 'snap' to love you" is the caption for this valentine, which includes an attached photograph--a snapshot, of course--to deliver it's punning message.

The photo shows a young girl who's wearing headphones (or perhaps some kind of radio headset--are those antennas extending from each side?), and she appears to be startled by what she's hearing.

It's not obvious why the card publisher chose the girl's photo for this valentine. Was she a child actress? Were the headphones new and trendy? It's certainly not a snap to figure out!
