File
"
A puzzle valentine's card entitled 'Curious Hieroglyphick valentine'. The card is uncoloured and includes symbols and words that together form a valentine's message. Cards like this would usually be hand-coloured by a worker before selling. Rebus cards were popular at the beginning of the Valentine's Day Card craze (1840s)."
