Ah, me, romance used to be a very flowery, lacy thing. Look at this lovely Victorian valentine:

Aw. Doves. Awwww. |
And you have the 50's ones, rife with bad puns:
Bet you never saw this one coming:

Ouch, it hurts |
I think I might have sent this one to an ever-suffering friend, back in the day:

Actually, this one is sort of fabulous. |
I can just picture the writers, all in their poly suits, sitting back with a coffee or a high ball, offering puns and groaning in unison. "Hey, fellas, Deer? Match? Plane? Sweet? Viking?"
Then there are the themed Valentine cards:

I kinda like this one, too, the more I look at it. |

Really, Gandalf? Really? |
And then there's this guy. It's not to hard to see why he is eating ALONE:

I have a small love affair with Valentines. This year we're giving out Valentines with small tattoos. But if I had my way we'd be making our own a la Victorian style.
Aren't they gorgeous? We're handing out Monster High theme V cards this year, apparently. Oh, well.
Very topical - love the first one!
Don't know if it's just me, but I can't see the bottom picture!!
