Step into the whimsical world of the late Victorian era with this charming and unusual Valentine postcard featuring two pigs taking center stage in a romantic scene. Dressed in red and pink, the pigs don elegant outfits reminiscent of the time period, with one donning a top hat and the other wearing a frilly dress and a heart-adorned cap. The pig in the dress, acting as the improbable Cupid, holds a quiver of arrows, while the other pig, in the hat, stands by, gazing lovingly at his companion. The postcard, which dates back to the 1890s, is adorned with hearts and red roses, adding to the romantic theme. The blue background and intricate border design add to the overall elegance of the card. The envelope, too, is decorated with hearts and red roses, continuing the love-themed motif. This delightful postcard offers a unique take on the traditional Valentine's Day greeting, showcasing the playful and imaginative spirit of the late Victorian era. It invites us to appreciate the unexpected and to find joy in the unconventional, making it a cherished keepsake for collectors of vintage Valentine's Day cards and antique memorabilia.
