| Apart from Christmas, Valentines Day is probably the holiday on which the greatest number of greeting cards are exchanged. While most valentine cards bear the image of a heart, many, including some of those exhibited here, show 'Cupid' the cherubic god of love and/or Cupid's bow and arrows. Also notice that the predominant colors used on valentines has traditionally been red and white. |
| The card exhibited below is one constructed to fold open, with the segment of the boy holding the egg-shaped container of candy being extended forward. |
| The next two cards exhibited below are what are known as honeycomb foldout greeting cards. In each card, a portion of the image of the boat in which the two children are riding, expands outward with red 'honeycomb' paper to give a three dimensional touch to the cards. |
