Winged cupids pour red wine (love) from a wine glass.
"Here's to a woman's heart
Which is just like glass
It can be rapidly filled with love,
And emptied just as fast."

Handwritten message on the front, as this was posted on an undivided back card, making it illegal to write anything other than the recipient's address on the backside. "Dear Friend - Do you know any girls, with hearts like the above know two that are not, don't you? Give my regards to Jay and tell everyone hello for me. I wish you were at the carnival. Yours, J.I.M.

This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
