Nephew Buster & Cowgirl Cupid
I have a fun little collection of vintage cowgirl themed valentine cards and since today is Valentine’s Day it’s the perfect opportunity to share one with you.
.
This is my favorite - a Victorian valentine from the Golden Age of Postcards ca. early 1900s. I don’t know the artist, but it was printed in Germany and done in bas relief adding dimension and interest. The imagery is a hoot – a butt-naked cupid atop a horse and throwing a lasso of hearts at a train.
.
TRAIN? I don’t get the train, but I do have to wonder if Cupid’s bottom side is a bit rashed!
.
.
Cupid’s butt to saddle wasn’t just lost to me, take a look at the reverse side of the card and read what Aunt Sizzie had to say to Nephew Buster:
.
Hello Buster how is this for a pretty girl on horse back. how would you like to ride with her. From your Aunt & Uncle Will & Sizzie

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
