EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical Valentine's card from 1905 features an unexpected cupid - none other than President Theodore Roosevelt himself! Surrounded by a motley crew of European leaders, American industrial figures, politicians, and even a Wall Street con artist, this unique piece of history captures the spirit of the early 20th century. The card is part of Puck's valentines collection, showcasing a playful blend of politics and romance.
In the midst of international tensions between Germany and Russia, it's amusing to see William II of Germany and Nicholas II of Russia depicted alongside each other in this lighthearted context. The inclusion of a prophet adds an air of mystique to the scene, while the presence of American industrial figures highlights the growing influence of industry in shaping society.
One can't help but smile at the mention of "Tom," who apparently has a talent for writing a thousand words per minute on typewriters. And let's not forget about our mischievous cupid-in-chief, President Roosevelt, who brings his own brand of charm to this eclectic gathering.
Overall, this Valentine's card serves as a delightful reminder that love knows no boundaries - not even those between nations or political ideologies. It's a charming snapshot from a bygone era that still manages to capture our hearts today.
