EDITORS COMMENTS
This WWII Valentines Day card, titled "You are my target for today," dates back to circa 1942. The exterior of the card features a charming design, with a cherubic Cupid aiming an arrow at a heart-shaped target, surrounded by a border of red flowers and intricate circles. The playful use of the target symbol, synonymous with the military during wartime, adds a unique twist to the traditional Valentines Day theme. Upon opening the card, one is greeted by an equally enchanting interior. The inside left panel displays a heart-dotted message that reads, "You are my target," while the right panel showcases a whimsical scene of a pilot in a RAF cap, holding a paintbrush and palette, with a pot of paint and a winged cupid in the background. The pilot, with a bow and arrow in hand, seems to be aiming at a heart-shaped target, symbolizing the deep affection and longing shared between the sender and the recipient. The intricate detailing and thoughtful design of this card reflect the creativity and resourcefulness of individuals during the 1940s. The use of a pilot as the central figure may also pay homage to the brave men and women who served in the military during WWII, adding a layer of historical significance to this cherished piece of ephemera. With its delightful combination of love, history, and wartime symbolism, this Valentines Day card remains a captivating reminder of the enduring power of love and connection, even in the most challenging of times.
