This postcard is from 1910 or so, but in many ways it has a very modern feeling, almost like the graphics from the 1950s or 1960s. I had to enlarge it to figure out what was going on - it's Cupid as a blacksmith forging hearts, and the items that look like X's on the window sill must be tongs.
If you get the chance, enlarge it and take a look. It is incredibly 3-D, and Cupid's little cherubic body is beautifully sculpted/embossed.
Not only is it the Friday of a long weekend for many, today is Postcard Friendship Friday. Check out some of the other postcard blogs that are found there if you can!
