Valentine\u2019s Day is a perfect opportunity to showcase some of our Valentine postcards from the Charles Shields collection. We have over a thousand postcards celebrating Valentine\u2019s Day. Many themes are represented in these cards: cupid is certainly popular, as are children, animals and flowers. The following cards are the ones that caught my eye or made me smile as I thumbed through them. Please click on an image to enlarge it.
