Vintage Valentine Card Boy Girl Half Me Left Right 1910s

The boy in the plaid flat cap and brown jacket is absolutely convinced he's delivering the most charming explanation ever, finger pointed directly at the girl seated across from him in her blue checkered dress with an enormous bow, while she sits with her hands pressed to her cheeks in what the artist clearly intended as dreamy wistfulness but reads unmistakably as 'please stop talking to me.' Two children in matching checkered outfits have somehow recreated the energy of a hostile workplace confrontation and slapped 'Valentine' on it. The text 'This half of me is left and this half is right / Now would I be alright for your Valentine?' deploys what can only be described as geometry-based seduction, because apparently the height of romance is a boy pointing aggressively at your face while explaining his own bilateral symmetry. Adorable? Sure. A harbinger of every unsolicited explanation you'll ever receive from a man? Absolutely.
