A blond boy and a curly-haired girl are the pair at the center of this Valentine card, which carries the playful title "Guess Who." Cards like this were a staple of early twentieth-century Valentine's Day exchanges, when children and sweethearts sent printed sentiments that often came with a little puzzle or a teasing message. The "Guess Who" format invited the recipient to name the sender, and the sweet, stylized figures reflect the illustrated greeting style popular in that era. The board credits the card to the Applewood and HowieLuvzus collection, so the card's precise maker and date are best confirmed from its original record.
