This is a novelty booklet postcard that features two children riding in a car with the cupid police about to shoot them with his bow and arrow of love. The pages of the card open up and you read them like a book. The inside pages read:
To My Valentine
If you were me and I were you,
You'd press this missive to your breast,
But as I'm I, and you are you
I fear you'll love the nearest, best.
Design publisher: John Winsch 1914
Artist: Jason Freixas

Gorgeous! I'm sure these were a little pricey back in the day.
And even pricier now! ;-)
