Valentine's Day Warning Postcard

This Valentine greeting sends a warning...

Behind the all-business, matronly suffragette's raised fist there is a heart wearing a pair of pants (with suspenders making an 'X'), with "Back to the background" beneath it.

The postcard's text reads:

Be careful, men, of the advocate
of woman's rights in the single state
If you marry one,
your trouble's begun--
You'll count for less than half your weight!

Clearly an anti-suffrage card to be sent on Valentine's Day to express love -- and protective instincts towards -- one's 'brother'.

This Valentine Greeting, is dated 1906, © Raphael Tuck & Sons' Valentine Post Card, Series No. 5.
