| Description: | Indistinct imagery, contrast is light, blurry and jumpy "St. Valentine's day finds the hunting female of the species on the alert in her quest for the heart and hand of the elusive eligible male." (The cards have racist caricatures of African Americans on them. One with a cave woman says, "Boy I'se a Cave Lady." "Be My Ducky Wucky While Yo' Is Able.") "Taking advantage of the traditions of this ancient holiday, the fair ones select their post card ammunition with which to lay siege against the permanent bachelorhood of boy friends. Trick missives will be the missiles of this year." | |
