Capricious Cupid

Valentines Card 1981.204.14

While Valentines Day has been marked with the sending of greeting cards for decades, there was no mention of it in any of the early newspapers I looked at. I did find references to Cupid, who has been associated with romance since Roman times when Valentines Day started out as the Roman celebration of Lupercalia.
