Valentine - I'd Be Charmed To Be Yours

A mid-20th-century Valentine card featuring a brightly colored illustration of a child dressed as a snake charmer playing a horn beside a cobra. The card reads, “I’d Be Charmed to Be Yours,” with “Made in U.S.A.” printed near the lower edge.

While typical of novelty classroom Valentines of the period, the imagery reflects ethnic caricature and visual stereotypes that would be considered racially insensitive today.
