A Valentine Game of Hearts

A Valentine Game of Hearts
A Valentine's Day postcard dated 1909 on the front and postmarked Burlington, Vt., Feb. 13, 1911, on the back.

Cupids play football with hearts, as we see here (above), but they also use them in bowling (below).

And, of course, cupids need to maintain their stock of hearts, which may require sweeping, netting, weighing, and mending, as we can see in this selection of early twentieth-century postcards (below).
